The estate dates back to 1905 when Julien Martin bought the property and its accompanying 5 hectares of vineyards. In 1947 his son, Jules, took over its management, buying parcels of vines from that point on, building the facilities to make wine on the property and overseeing production. Today the estate comprises 67 hectares of prime winegrowing land and is run by David and Eric, the great grandsons of its founder.
While the estate itself has a long history of over 100 years, the land belonging to it goes back even further to the 16th century. Diane de Poitiers once owned the vineyard of Plan de Dieu, located between Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas, from which she made an exceptional wine, and the only one ever to grace her table. The Mistral sweeps through the property regularly, while the sun drenches the vines from Easter right through to Halloween, the vines enjoying nighttime warmth captured by the alluvial soils and round pebbles that form the land.
