It is in 1720 that the domaine was inherited by the heirs of Pierre Morel, a financier from Aix who had made such a huge fortune he was called the "Croesus of Provence". Since then it has been passed on from one generation to the next. Today, Guillaume de Jerphanion dedicates himself fully to running it.
