The domain was established in 1920. Mireille Besnardeau
is a descendant of those who started the domain. She and her husband became
owners in 1994. At that time all the production was sold to negociant but
from 1997 the first bottling of wine was made and the next year new cellars were
established and some fields were replanted with Syrah and Mourvedre.
The domain owns a total of 46 ha with fields spread in 7
communes, Sainte Cécile les
Vignes, Lagarde-Paréol, Suze la Rousse, Tulette, Cairanne, Rasteau and
Travaillan.
3/4
of the fields were planted before 1950, some vines were planted in 1902.
Since 2011 the vineyards are certified agriculture biologique.
