The story
In 1717, the count Francois de Castellanne, de Lauris, de Vassadel, de Gerard, Chevalier Marquis d'Ampuis, de Lagneroux, universal landlord of
the place called Vacqueyras and its lands, donated a parcel of vines to an ancestor of the Arnoux family : Pierre Bovis. From that day onwards, the
tradition of the vine and wine has been continued in our family. Today, the vines of the Arnoux family extend over 40 hectares.
