Reserve de l’Abbé was the name we selected because it represents the quality kept aside for the religious hierarchy. Before the 18th century, the Catholic Church owned a large proportion of the vines, and the cultivation and production was in the hands of the monks in the monasteries. The « Abbé » or Abbot was the head of these monasteries, and the best wines were reserved for the hierarchy of the church. Since we sell quite a bit of our Côtes du Rhône in bulk to merchants, we save the best part for to bottle ourselves – this wine is indeed a reserve. The text on the label is a fragmented excerpt from the book of Jerimiah in the Old Testament that was copied from an early hand painted bible and
was chosen for its artwork.
