Saint Mont is the reference appellation in terms of grape varietal research (ampelography). It is home to the first vineyard listed as a Historical Monument (in 2012), and the first private conservatory in France (since 2002).
A unique terroir: This distinction is the reward for many long days spent exploring old parcels of carefully-preserved vineyards, and collecting valuable treasures such as certain Pyrenean grape varieties that were practically lost or forgotten.
The appellation uses local and ancestral varieties: Tannat, Pinenc, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Saint Mont red wines are full and elegant, with dark fruit notes and of remarkable freshness.
