The domain is built at the remainings from an old monastery. An inscription on a wall from the 8th entury is among the remains.
The ageing cellar of today was a chapel in the 12th century. 

In the early 1950ties the place came in possession of the Jullien family. At that time 13 ha. belonged to the property, 5 ha.of them with vines and the rest planted with olive- or fruit trees. The cold winter in 1956 destroyed these fruit trees and more vines were planted - a common story which can be told about many properties in the area.
Today the domain is run by Guy Jullien and his son Thomas who has got an oenologic education and also Thomas's wife Marie-Sophie works at the domain. You might meet her or Guy's wife Michèle if you visit the place.
The domain covers today 25 ha. with vines.15 ha. is AOC Beaumes de Venise in Suzette and La Rock Alric sitiated in an altitude of 200-600m. 6 ha in Barroux and St Hippolyte le Graveyron is in AOC Cotes du Ventoux and 4 ha Cotes du Rhone are situated in Suzette.
Since 2000 the vineyards have been certified agriculture biologique.
