| In 1925, a small group of vinegrowers in Laudun decided to create together a winery where they could take their respective harvests. |
| The winery developped over time and its members became more and more numerous. At the time, the vocation of the Laudun winery was to produce talbe wines. |
| In 1937, the Vignerons de Laudun winery already produced a top quality wine, and participated in the creation of the syndicate of Cotes du Rhone wines. |
| In 1938, the Appellations d'Origine Controllée (AOC) wines were created, defining wines that were issued from specific territories, according to established rules that were created so as to certify the quality of the finished product. Laudun became an appellation contrôlée "Cotes du Rhone". |
| In 1947, a judicial decision established the Cotes du Rhone Villages appellation followed by the name of the town. The superior quality classification is determined according to very specific criteria that are based on the history of the local wine production, the quality of the soil and a recognized know-how. The Laudun wines fit these criteria perfectly. Vineyards have been planted on the territory since Roman times, there is an ensemble of terraced soils and river-rolled rock as well as sandy soil that is well esposed to the sun, and the traditional know-how is strongly present. |

In 1958, the Vigneron de Laudun winery began bottling wine. Until that time all of the wine was sold in bulk, in barrels or tanks. The high quality of the wine, whose reputation became more and more widespread, encouraged the Laudun winery to bottle their territory's wine. |
