DOMAINE DE LA COSTE MOYNIER

About

In the Languedoc region of southern France, the commune of Saint-Christol has been producing excellent wines for almost a thousand years. Indeed, as early as the end of the 12th century, in 1193, texts record the presence of vines and the production of wines by the knights of the Order of Malta. This community of soldier-monks had been founded in Palestine to maintain the Order and care for the sick. They were known as the ?Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem? Driven out of the Middle East by Muslims in the early 12th century, the monks embarked on galleons and landed on the coast of Malta, south of Greece. After decades of hard work and organization, they set sail and landed on our coast, near the port of Aigues-Mortes. Leaving behind the marshy areas of the Mediterranean lido, they settled on the first hills to the north, dominated by the Cévennes. Elisabeth and Luc settled in Saint-Christol in 1975, on a 33-hectare estate at the highest point of the village, Domaine de la Coste, on land classified as AOC. Both descend from a long line of winegrowing families whose presence in Languedoc is attested as far back as the 13th century, in Mauguio, Assas and Beaulieu.
