Men

A history

" In 972, Raymond the 1st of Rouergue gave the town of Gaillac to Abbot Saint-Michel who built the eponymous Abbey on the banks of the River Tarn. Some of the Tarn vines, destroyed by the Moors, were replanted and tended by the Benedictine monks from Saint-Michel Abbey. Winemaking quickly became a real economic strength for the region and earned the support of the Counts of Toulouse. This choice location was the reason for very strict rules governing Gaillac vinegrowing and winemaking. Saint-Michel is testimony to this part of our history."
