In the early 1970ties the beautiful place, built around 1750, was purshased by Odette and René Bastide.
Around 1985 their daughter Edith and son-in-law Paul Chaudière took over the place. Before that time the couple had worked far away from wine business. They had jobs as physiotherapist and speech therapist. The father of Paul Chaudière was an oenology professor at the wine institute in Orange, so he was not quite unfamiliar with the task.
They decided to make the wines at the domain and constructed new cellars. The first bottling at the domain took place in 1990.
Since 2003 their sons Alexandre and Frédéric have been in charge. Frédéric is the outgoing of the brothers (the salesman)
The vineyards are situated in four communes, Blauvac, Mormoiron, Ville-sur-Auzon and Mazan. The total area is about 72 ha. Since 2013 the vineyards have been certified agriculture biologique.
