History:
L'Abbaye des Monges and AOP Coteaux du Languedoc

In the heart of the Massif de La Clape, a place steeped in history and a former Roman island, the Domaine Abbaye des Monges has stood as an emblem of the La Clape PDO since 1204.

Under the aegis of Baroness Marie-Claude de Chefdebien, this Cistercian abbey, dedicated to “Notre-Dame des Olieux” in homage to the estate’s ancestral olive trees, continues to perpetuate a unique winegrowing heritage.

The estate benefits from an exceptional terroir, bathed in a Mediterranean microclimate and framed by garrigue and Pyrenean mountains, conducive to the cultivation of distinctive grape varieties that express all the richness and diversity of the La Clape PDO.
