Records from 1376 mention Vinea culta on a lieu-dit in Gigondas called Bosquets. The oldest documented building at the domain's current location dates back to 1644 when a feudal lord Jean de Rivière, Seigneur de Laval, built a bâtisse on site. A renovated tower from this period is situated near the domain. In the latter half of the 1800s the property was for a period owned by Eugène Raspail, who built Chateau Raspail in Gigondas.
Domaine des Bosquets was bought in 1962 by the legendary Gabriel Meffre. It's his grandson Julien Brechet, who runs the domain  today. The estate covers 26 ha of Gigondas. The number of different cuvées have escaleted in resent years - representing the different terroirs of the vineyards. (Maybe inspired by his big brother Laurent Brechet at Chateau de Vaudieu)
