Since the 13th century, Pontaud farmers, farmers in the town of Gaujac. Jacques, Jean-Jacques, Bénony, Virgil, Jean and Bernard succeeded each other and each contributed over time to the expansion, transformation and modernization of the farm.
Originally, arboreal and market gardening, it is Virgil, Mayor of Gaujac and founder of the cooperative cellar which will give a
new impetus to exploitation by converting it partially into vines.
Then, his son, Jean, in 1945, takes over the exploitation and begins to vinify in his own cellars.
