Henri Plantin (1890 - 1966) acted as a pioneer. In 1923, long before the creation of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation in 1936, he acquired this estate, isolated from the village and surrounded by woods. A visionary, he set about grouping the various plots around the estate, anticipating the exceptional nature of the terroir on the plateau overlooking Mont-Redon, which was then covered with scrubland and groves. As a pioneer, he decided to clear this unused land and plant vines on the rolled pebbles.
