The winery was built in 1850 by a religious brotherhood called the Marianists.

​

​They were quite specialized in agronomy and selected Coubeyrac for its key location, its terroir and optimal sun exposure.

​

The brotherhood of priests took in numerous orphans; whom where given shelter, as well as an education in religion, viticulture and winemaking.

​

In 1905, France became a secular state. The wealth of the church was taken by the state. 

​

The winery was divided up into different estates and then sold in auction, in 1906.

​

The Marianists were forced to leave France. They resettled in Spain.
