Description
The Les Pénitents vintage comes from a vineyard that was already prestigious in the 12th century! Planted and exploited by Cluniac monks, it was practically wiped out by phylloxera at the end of the 19th century. It has been reborn since the end of the 1980s thanks to the efforts of passionate winegrowers.
Located in the IGP Côtes de la Charité, the vineyard is crossed by the path to Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle, hence the name given to the cuvée.
