Gérard Marreau took over the family domain as 4th generation in 1990 after finishing an oenologic education from Faculté de Dijon.
Today he is the vicepresident for the Vignerons des Côtes du Ventoux.

The history of the property can be dated back to the 14th century when the buildings were a stronghold during the war of religion and known for its pigeonnier, a tower and view point for discovering enemies in the area.
