The adventure began in 1919, when, on their return from the war our great grandfather, Raoul, and his father decided to turn the family broom making workshop into a winemaking cellar. They bought their first grapes from the farmers in the surrounding area, after that they spread their purchases to the whole Rhône Valley.
This is the way winemaking started here. The exceptional quality vineyards, that complement each other so well, grew up over the years. The vinification cellar has also grown with the generations.

Later, the estate’s lands were divided into three, the land at La Grande Bellane went to our cousin, Jean Couston, before their stewardship fell to me, Damien Marres. The estate has been run using organic farming methods for over 30 years.
