In 1709 the estate was purchased by a direct forefather of the owners today. Thus there is of course a feeling of affinity present at the domain. Today it's the 10th generation running the domain.
The next generation the son-in-law Christian-Yves Carré de Lusançay has worked at the domain since 2007 when he married Julie Meffre

The domain covers 16 ha of Gigondas, 0,75 ha of Chateauneuf du Pape (Lieu-dit Janasse), 1,4 ha of Cotes du Rhone Village Sablet, 5 ha of Rasteau and 10 ha of Cotes du Rhone and 1,5 ha of IGP.
