Domaine Durieu began in the 70s with Paul Durieu as the driving force in the family. The vineyard, in its current state, is relatively young, but the family vineyard has been part of the property for a very long time. The family Avril, which is the family name on the mother’s side, came namely to Châteauneuf-du-Pape already in the 1500s and some vines that are still used today are from before the 1st World War.
