The domain was founded about 1800 by Benoit Jouffron a forefather of the owners today. It covers 19 ha. 15 ha in Chateauneuf du Pape and the rest in Gard/Lirac Some of the different plots around the appellation has vines of very old age - more than 100 years. The average age is about 50 years. Until 1998 the production was sold to negociants but then the two brothers Serge and Jean-Paul Gradassi started bottling at the estate.
