The impressive buildings at Chateau de Vaudieu was built in 1767 by an admiral Gerin from the Marseille admiralty. In the 19^th century the wines from Vaudieu had a high reputation. The domain was one of four exporting producers in Chateauneuf du Pape. In the early 20^th century the vineyards were in a state of disrepair. In 1955 the estate was bought by Gabriel Meffre. He reparied the vineyards. His daughter Sylvette married Michel Brechet. They had two sons and a daughter Laurent and Julien. Julien runs today Domaine des Bospquet in Gigondas.
