Presentation
It was during the time of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela that the Templars began building commanderies to shelter the Knights of Christ and protect pilgrims.
They chose to settle in the heart of the Viscounty of Brulhois, between the Lot and the Garonne rivers, along the Way of Saint-Jacques. This cuvée pays tribute to those knights who helped shape the history of the South-West of France.
The vineyard extends over 25 hectares of stony and clay-limestone hillsides, at the southern edge of the Lot-et-Garonne department.
