The Domaine is situated at the foot of the Maures at Grimaud in the Var region dominated by the Golf of Saint-Tropez. It has a southern exposure and is situated on siliceous and gneissic soil.

In the 1880s, when Alexandre Castellan founder of the Domaine du Val de Gilly, settled on the estate, vine cultivation was only secondary in comparison with the forest works or olive cultivation. The next generation made up their minds to reverse the situation especially after the freezing of the olive trees in 1956, and they concentrated on vine cultivation.

Managed today by Nadine et Daniel Castellan, "the fifth generation", this magnificent property extends for 27 hectares of A.O.C. Côtes de Provence classified hillsides.
