In 1992 Gaël
Petit took over the domain after
his mother Mireille Petit Roudil, his maternal grand father Gabriel
was from the very (in Tavel) historic
Roudil family.
The most significant of
this
family who have lived in the area since
the 16th century was probably Aimé Roudil (1870-1938). He
became one of those who helped restore the vineyards after the
Phylloxera crisis and he was one of the leading people who helped
to make the rules and delimitation of the appellation in
collaboration with Pierre le Roy of Chateauneuf du Pape.
They
were
the driving force behind the first two appellations in France in
1936.
Aime Roudil (1870-1936) Pierr Le Roy 1890-1937
The domain covers 15 ha of Tavel
and 0,83 ha of Lirac.
The grapes of the
domain are harvested with a slightly higher maturity than on most other
domains in Tavel.
Petit's attitude is that Rosé is a light red wine,
as he says they were ment historically.
