This cooperative was founded in 1965. It has less members than normal for a cooperative, 23 small producers with less than 1 ha. and 8-10 bigger producers. Ten years ago it was decided to make separate wines from each of the bigger producers with the name of the domains. Some wine from these domains and the wine from the small producers are blended to red, rosé and white wines with the name Cotes du Rhone Les Grandes Vignes. One cuvée Cotes du Rhone Village Signargues is likewise a blend from different domains.
In 2004 new vinification cellar with new steel tanks was built .
The total production is 420 hl.
