Christian Benedetti's grandfather Nicolas Benedetti immigrated from Italy in 1930 and married a daughter of a wine grower in Chateauneuf du Pape.
Today Christian's son, Nicolas, after having finished wine school helps his father at the domain. 
The domain owns 4 hectares of Chateauneuf du Pape, 10 hectares of Cotes du Rhone and 2 ha IGP Vaucluse
Some of the vines are very old - planted just after the Phylloxera, that is more than 100 years.
Since 2000 the domain has been certified Agriculture Biologique
