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 domains
must
keep their interests strictly separate. They
may not sell each other's wines or bring them to
"salons"
