The family property covers 30 ha. It has been in possession of the family for four generations.
The total production was until 2009 delivered to the co-operatives in  Sainte-Cécile-les-Vignes or Rochegude.
Vincent who has had some wine education wants to make his own wines.Since vintage 2010 only 50% of the production has been delivered to the cooperatives. The other half is vinified at the domain and is sold to negociant (Guigal) or bottled at the domain - 25% of the total production.
Since 2013 the vineyards are certified agriculture biologique.
The cellars situated in the Rochegude are quite old and have belonged to the family for generations. You can discover several old tools in the cellar used by former generations, for instance a destillation aggregate used by the grandfather. Sometime after harvest it was brought to the centre of Rochegude and used by the winegrowers who had something to destillate. When private destillation was forbidden the authorities came to Vincent's grandfather to drill holes to prevent further use - to great frustration for the grandfather.
