Abbaye de Valmagne is a ninth-generation family estate in the Languedoc, run today by Rolland d’Allaines. The vineyards have been farmed organically since 1999, with biodynamic inspiration.
The vineyard history here goes back to 1139, when Cistercian monks founded the abbey and established vines on the surrounding land. It remains one of the most historically significant wine sites in the south of France, but the wines are made with a modern, careful hand.
Rolland d’Allaines continues the work begun when the Count of Turenne bought the abbey in 1838 and developed the estate as a serious vineyard. The focus is on healthy soils, thoughtful farming and wines that reflect the place without being forced into a style.
