Preignes le Vieux is located on the ruins of the Roman villa Preixanum, which dates back to 118. Remains of amphoras testify to the development of winemaking in this area, dating back to the period of classical antiquity. The area was strategically important as it was at the center of commercial trade thanks to the nearby ancient Mediterranean ports.
In 1906, François Bergon, Jérôme Vic's great-great-grandfather, invested in the construction of a new cellar, which is still used to store the estate's wines and contains 78 huge wooden barrels holding between 250 and 350 hectoliters. The cellar combines tradition with modern technology and is equipped with a pneumatic press and stainless steel vats with temperature control
