Pascal is the fourth generation of viticulteurs at Tulette (Soutern Rhône area); his father Roger was at the cave de Tulette; Pascal left the Cave les Coteaux of Visan in 2002. The domaine has been organic since 2008 and biodynamic since 2020; he also sells crop to the Famille Perrin.

Pascal is a most thoughtful, measured vigneron, on a steady path of developing the connection between his terroir and the wines. He also explores the possibilities of Muscardin and Vaccarèse for the reds, with Counoise cuttings from Château de Beaucastel at Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

The grapes for this wine come from the Tulette terroir, where the plots are on terrace, where the vines rest on a soil of Rissian alluvium dating from the last Quaternary glaciations (2 million years ago), and made up of limestone gravels with sometimes the presence of flint and siliceous sandstone, on hillside, where the vines rest on a thick and more or less gravelly and sandy silt layer whose deposits, of fluvial origin, are more recent.
