In 1967 the domain was established in Lirac by Jean Duseigneur when he - as many other winegrowers - went back to his homeland from Algeria.
At that time most of the fields were covered with trees and he had to remove them to plant vines.
In 1988 his son Frédéric Duseigneur joined his father and in 1992 he took over, later joined by his brother Bernard.
Since 2004 the vineyards have been certified biodynamique (Member of Biodyvin, International Bio-dynamic Vinegrowing Syndicate). All the work at the domain in vineyards or "cellar activity is restricted to the most appropriate period of the Biodynamic calendar."
Also since 2004 the well known wine writer and owner of Le Bistrot du Sommelier in Paris, Philippe Faure-Brac, has been advising and involved in the winemaking especially of the remarkable Cotes du Rhone Village Laudun which has his name on the label.



In 2012 Frédéric Duseigneur left the partnership with his brother to make a consulting firm of his own aimed at biodynamic farming and winemaking.
In 2013 Bernard Duseigneur bought 12 ha vineyards from Domaine Monpertuis in Chateauneuf du Pape and since 2013 he has made his wines here with the name Domaine Duseigneur. Since 2014 all wines are made in the cellar in Chateauneuf du Pape
A part of the vineyards in Saint Laurent des Arbres was sold to Jean-Frédéric Bistagne now running Domaine des Maravilhas.

After these changes the domain covers 13 ha Chasteauneuf du Pape, 4,5 ha Lirac, 14 ha Cotes du Rhone Village Laudun, 2,5 ha Cotes du Rhone and 0,34 ha IGP.

Situated by the entrance to the parking place you are at the highest point in the appellationen. The mistral can be very strong here.
