The domain was created in 1930 and was acquired by Jean-Claude Garcin in 1994. At that time the domain covered 40 hectares in Tavel and Lirac. Since then a cooperation with the Layonie family resulted in accumulation of some more vineyards from Domaine Saint-Anthelme (20 ha of Cotes du Rhone), Les Ramières (25 ha of Lirac, Cotes du Rhone and VDP) and Longval (10 ha of Lirac, Tavel, Cotes du Rhone and VDP). This led to a company called Domains Garcin – Layouni. 

In 2014 domain including the vineyards belonging to the Layonie family were bought by Elisabeth and Christian Latouche, who also owns Domaine de La Vallongue (since 2008) and Domaine des Terres Blanches (since 2012) situated in Eygalières and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, both domains producing AOP Les Baux de Provence.

Latouche has also bought some vineyards from Domaine du Chateau de l'Hers in Chateauneuf du Pape former owned by Marcel Georges.
