THE DOMAINE DE LEOS

OUR
HISTORY

The Margoye plateau, which is Domaine de Leos essential part, has a singular history, because it was the birthplace of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. This history is also largely connected to the Comtat Venassain that marked deeply this territory’s identity.
During the Mesozoic era, long called the secondary era, the Margoye Plateau was still below sea level. Part of Vaucluse is still covered by water. It was only in the Tertiary era that it became visible, at the same time as all the peaks of the "mountains" of Vaucluse.
In the Quaternary, the water receded, giving way to the soils and reliefs that we know today.

In the third millennium BC, Margoye was populated by the Chasséens, warrior farmers from the Danube who also settled in a large part of Gaul. Remains of their funerary monuments were found right next to the Domaine. These are steles representing mouthless deities, carved from a bed of Burdigalian molasse, this soft limestone which still constitutes the walls of the property today  !

* (“The history of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue / From the origins to 1274” / Edition Compo typo Relief May 1987) – see also “Mon Vieux L’Isle” by Robert Martin, Sauveur Romano and Jack Toppin at from L'Écho de Vaucluse, L'Écho de L'Isle and notes from the Victorin Laval collection with the support of the Mémori association)
** (which Gregory of Tours already spoke about in his “History of the Franks in the 6th century”)
The Margoye plateau will then be part of the territory of the Ligurians, Indo-Europeans who do not seem linked to any branch of the Celtic family and to whom we owe in particular the bories which are found on numerous plateaus in Vaucluse. Peiresc, a serious historian, member of the parliament of Provence, saw in them the ancient Provencal people, small, dark, cunning and combative, tireless workers very attached to the land.
It was around 800 years before Jesus Christ that the Celtic explosion took place, an aristocracy of horsemen, benefiting from effective weaponry which would conquer a large part of Gaul. But it was not until 600 BC that Celtic troops, who had become Gallic, crossed the Comtat. They then settled in most of the “   Castellars ” built on the heights by the Ligurians, long before them, and which they renamed “  Oppida  ”.

It is from this period that the first constructions and fortifications of the Plateau date, as well as "The Oppidum of Margoye ", which began to serve as a refuge for neighboring peasants, when they suffered attacks from armed troops.
As historians Joannis, Céccarelli and Victorin de Laval* explain, it was then that the Plateau de Margoye and its Oppidum saw the first inhabitants settle. This is why the Plateau de Margoye is recognized as being the original land of the town of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. Various experts even believe that this land corresponds to "Machao"**, considered to be the ancient name of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue!

The property has had numerous owners, including the Count of Quinson who, in the 17th century, extended the estate greatly. A hospital commandery, still visible today, was built in 1677.

In 1839, a parchment found in the walls of the property at the time of renovation work attests that the property produced silk (the production of which at the time supplied 11 mills in Isle-sur-la-Sorgue).

By acquiring the Estate in 2007, Patrick Bruel quickly became aware of the richness of this heritage, and the exceptional quality of the terroir. (see interview with Patrick Bruel) From 2008, and for 10 years, the property underwent considerable restructuring, protection and planting work.

In 2017, L’Huile H was born, the first olive oil from Domaine de Leos! And this is the beginning of the great adventure!
