Saint-Mont
The origins of the Saint-Mont vineyard date back to 1050, when the Benedictine monks founded the Monastery of Saint-Mont. The vineyard is located at the crossroads of the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route, along which many pilgrims walked and contributed to the renown of Saint-Mont wines.
Over time, the winegrowers set their hearts on developing the vineyard and, in 1957, decided to create the "Côtes de Saint-Mont" defense union. To do this, they selected the best plots of land in the vineyard to reduce the production area with the aim of producing less but better wine, and replanted forgotten grape varieties while optimizing wine-making methods. As a result, the 1,200 hectares of the Saint-Mont appellation obtained their AOC label in 2011.
The soils of the Saint-Mont appellation consist of fawn-colored sand, compact and variegated clay, and calcareous clay, on which Tannat, Pinenc, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon are planted for the reds, and Gros Manseng, Petit Courbu, and Arrufiac for the whites.
