This estate has always been a family holding, passed on from generation to generation since the late 1700s, promoting the special Larnage terroir with its white clays, often called Les Terres Blanches. The estate has slowly grown to its present size of 25 hectares (about 62 acres) over six communes (Larnage, Crozes-Hermitage, Tain lHermitage, Pont de lIsre, Mercurol and Tournon), three appellations (Crozes-Hermitage, Hermitage, Saint Joseph).
