Eric Bonnet has taken over from his parents Gérard and Marie-Claude Bonnet.
Marie-Claude takes care of visitors and Gérard still does a great job from the early morning in the vineyards. They have with confidence - a few years ago - given the responsibility to their son Eric for major decisions in the vineyards and the cellar. His wife Julie Moro is also working in the office and in the reception.

The total area of vineyards is about 34 ha. 11 ha Chateauneuf du Pape, 5 ha. Cotes du Rhone Village, 10 ha. Cotes du Rhone and 8 ha. Vin du Pays.
The domain is one of few which doesn't use wood for ageing.
