The origins of this vineyard date back to Antiquity. It has been tended to by the
Gaul and the Romans before declining under the reign of the Barbarians. It
made a formidable recovery in the Middle Ages, spreading from the village to
the vast plains in the region under the Knights Templar, the Knights Hospitaller
and finally the Popes.
