After the French Revolution, the building became property of the State, which used it as an artillery depot before putting it up for sale at auction. In 1926, the cooperative winegrowers of Collioure bought this imposing building and decided to make wine and raise their production in these walls steeped in history.The vineyard is located at the eastern end of the Pyrenees, where the mountains meet the Mediterranean… Collioure, Port-Vendres, Banyuls and Cerbère are the 4 villages that make up this exceptional vineyard, with its rugged terrain and where the winegrowers exercise their passion.
