The history of the domain began in 1920, when Raoul Raymond, the grandfather of Dany, took over from his father and rooted up parcels of cherries and planted vines instead. His son Emil continued in this way. At that time the domain was called Domaine des Cigalons.
In 1978 Dany married Christian Berthet-Rayne and Emil Raymond turned a part of the domain over to him and Dany. Domaine Berthet-Rayne was established partly with rented vineyards. 
Since 2003 the daughter Laure has been working at the domain together with her husband Martial Capeau and they took over the domaine in 2009.
Today wines are produced from 20 ha of Chateauneuf du Pape and 6 ha of Cotes du Rhone.
Since 2007 the domain has been certified agriculture biologique.
