The domain was established by Benjamin Tourbillon in 2011. He's from Isle la Sorgue where his parents own the gourmet restaurant Café Fleurs.

Benjamin Tourbillon's grandfather owned 5 ha of vineyards in Gigondas with very old vines. The grapes were until 2010 delivered to the cooperative in Gigondas.
Based on this inheritage Benjamin Tourbillon founded his domain in Violès in 2011.
More vineyards were purchased and in 2012 wines were made from 3,2 ha in Chateauneuf du Pape (Grand Devès), 15 ha of Cotes du Rhone Village Plan de Dieu, 9 ha of Cotes du Rhone and 1 ha of IGP.
In 2011-2012 a new cellars was built in Violès and later on a new very modern shop was created in Lagnes, Luberon by a crossroad where many turists are passing.
Since 2018 Benjamin's brother Alexandre Tourbillon has been co-owner.
