Abbaye de Valmagne
Founded in 1139, Valmagne Abbey is a Cistercian abbey and home to one of the oldest wine estates in the Languedoc. Its rich history spans periods of both turmoil and prosperity. The abbey endured the Hundred Years’ War and the French Wars of Religion, including a massacre of its monks in 1575. From the 12th century to the early 14th century, however, it flourished as one of the wealthiest Cistercian abbeys in southern France.
Since 1838, Valmagne Abbey has been passed down through successive generations of the Gaudart d’Allaines family, descendants of the Count of Turenne. Listed as a French Historic Monument in 1947, it has welcomed visitors since 1975.

Appellation: AOC Grés de Montpellier
Vineyard management: Agriculture biologique
Alcohol content: 14%
Grape varieties: Syrah, Grenache, Morrastel, Mourvèdre
Soil: Red argillite.
Tasting notes: The nose is clean, combining oak ageing aromas with sun-ripened red and black fruit, alongside lightly macerated stone fruit notes of sloe and Morello cherry. The palate opens generously, full and fleshy, echoing these fruity, Mediterranean notes. A firmer structure emerges through the mid-palate, with a dense texture incorporating pronounced, fine-quality tannins. Power and muscularity are balanced by freshness and an appealing range of flavours.
