The Andre family has owned the property
since 1910.
In 1951 Patrice's grandfather was part of the founding of the
cooperative and the grapes from the property were delivered there
until 2002 when a new cellar was built on a slope with 9 metres difference between where
the grapes are received and where the ageing takes place. In this way any
pumping can be avoided.
The domain covers 30 ha, 15 ha in Rasteau, 14 ha in Violes (Plan de Dieu) and 1 ha in Sablet.
