Wines
From the cloister to the Dukes
Centuries later, the abbey attracted the attention of Burgundy's elite. In the 20th century, Duke Philippe, the 9th Duke of Magenta , fell under Morgeot's spell and chose to establish the winery and cellars of his estate there. Since the 1960s, this historically significant site has housed the winemaking and aging of the wines of Domaine du Duc de Magenta.
Cistercian Heritage
In the 12th century, Cistercian monks built Morgeot Abbey in the heart of Chassagne-Montrachet. Faithful to their motto Ora et Labora (pray and work) , they cleared, planted, organized the land and laid the first stones of a vineyard destined for excellence.
A UNESCO-listed region
The Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot vineyard is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is one of the jewels of the Côte de Beaune , where the richness of the soil and the expertise of the winemakers give rise to exceptional white wines.
An art passed down from generation to generation
Since the 12th century, Morgeot wine has been the fruit of patiently passed-down know-how. Cistercian monks shaped the terroir, the Dukes of Burgundy enhanced it, and the Duke of Magenta perpetuates this tradition today in the abbey's cellars.
