In 1964 the property was purchased
by the grandfather of Jean-Yves Perez.
At that time only
10 hectares were planted with vines and a similar amount was planted with oak
trees for collecting truffles.
Through the years the planting of vines increased and today there are 28
hectares with vines. In fact it's the father of Jean-Yves
who owns the property but when Jean-Yves in 2000
returned to his home after finishing his education (BTS) he wanted to make wines of
his own and his father has rented to him 5 hectares of the oldest vineyards from
where he started to make and bottle wines from vintage 2005. From vintage 2006
in his own cellar.
In the future more wine from more vineyards will surely be made and bottled at
the place, but the cellar needs to have more space.
The name of the domain comes from lieu-dit l'Obrieu.
Since 2011 the vineyards are during conversion into agriculture biologique.
Jean-Yves Perez is married to Cécile Varenne from Domaine
du Grand Bourjassot in Gigondas. She works at the domain of her parents but
her home is at Obrieu in Visan.
