The first
vines at the property were
planted around 1900 - sticks that are still in production. It
was only after the hard winter of 1956 that vines became
monoculture. However, basements were established in
1934 after Clement Roux's grandfather had taken over the property.
The domain name was created in 1980 from the oak trees near
the property, and the
first wines bottled with the named
appeard the same year.
Clement and his sister
Céline have worked for a number of years with their
Jean Roux. In May 2017, the change of generations
officially took place when
Clement Roux officially
became responsible.
The
domain covers 10 ha of Gigondas and 2-3 ha. in Sablet og Séguret.
A
part of the production is negociant.
