Château l'Abbaye

In the 12th century, an abbey was founded in Pleine-Selve on the estate that our winery occupies. Built between 1145 and 1150, it occupied a strategic position between Aquitaine and Saintonge.
It also served as a relay on the road to Santiago de Compostela, and was home to the Premonstratensian order, which was responsible for exploiting the surrounding land and encouraging the settlement and evangelization of the rebellious population.
Its prosperity was important until its destruction by the French troops returning from the sieges of Blaye and Bourg in the 15th century.
The old abbey church became part of the church of Pleine-Selve and there are still some remains in the heart of the vineyard.
We produce red, white and rosé wine in AOC Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux on a surface of 21,5 ha.
