The winery is located in the municipality of Trouillas in the French region of Roussillon, just ten kilometres from the Mediterranean coast near the Spanish border. It was founded in 1967 by Jacques Montès. In 1987, he handed over the management to his son Etienne Montè, a former press photographer. In close co-operation with the oenologist Jean-Luc Colombo, quality-improving measures were implemented. The vineyards cover 70 hectares of vines on pebble and moraine soils interspersed with quartz, gneiss and granite. The basis for the wines is created through intensive care of the vines, targeted low yields and selective harvesting at optimum ripeness.
