The domain was founded by Philippe Cartoux in 1989. The vineyards had then been owned by his family since 1879.
Today the domain covers 9,5 ha: 3 ha of Gigondas 2,5 ha of Sablet and 4 ha of Cotes du Rhone.
The vineyards are since 2014 certified agriculture biologique.

Philippe Cartoux is married to the owner of Domaine de Montvac, Cécile Dusserre. At her domain he is responsible for the work in the vineyards
As Philippe Cartoux with his 9,5 ha is situated about 200m from his wife's cellar it's reasonable that his wines are made in a seperate part of her quite big cellars.

Some years ago during a visit to Montvac, this section of the basement was designated "belonging" to Philippe Cartoux ..
A married couple who owns their own domain
s must keep their interests strictly separate. They may not sell each other's wines or bring them to "salons"
