In 1964 the property was purchased
by the grandfather of Jean-Yves Perez.
At that time only
10 hectares were planted with vines and a similar amount was planted with oak
trees for collecting truffles.
Through the years the planting of vines increased and today there are 28
hectares with vines. Jean-Yves'
father sold the grapes to the cooperative.
When Jean-Yves in 2000
returned to his home after finishing his education (BTS) he wanted to make wines of
his own and his father has rented to him 5 hectares of the oldest vineyards from
where he started in 2005 to make and bottle wines
in his own very small cellar at the domain.
In 2012 Jean-Yves' father retired and has left all
28 hectares to Jean-Yves.
Then there had to be built a new cellar and this project was nearly finished in
May 2012 ready for this years harvest.
Since 2014 the vineyards have been certified agriculture biologique.
Jean-Yves Perez is married to Cécile Varenne from Domaine
du Grand Bourjassot in Gigondas. She works at both domains but
her home is at Obrieu in Visan.
