The domain has belonged to the Arnaud family from the 1940s until 2019, when it was purchased by the Strasser family.

The property covers  27 ha of vines; 15 ha of Chateauneuf du Pape, situated near the domain at lieu-dit Cabrières, 8 ha of Cotes du Rhone Village or Cotes du Rhone and 4 ha of IGP.
The soil of the vineyards for Chateauneuf du Pape are varying even if they are situated near each other: Slopes or terrasses covered with big stones or with lime stones, some plots are with clay and other plots more sandy. 
Since 2014 the vineyards have been certified agriculture biologique.
