The Abbaye de Mont was born from the work of the Cistercian monks of the Bonmont monastery, who received these lands in the 12th century and quickly transformed them into vineyards. Straddling Mont-sur-Rolle and Perroy, the Abbaye de Mont is, with its 13.5 hectares, the largest vineyard estate in Lausanne. The Lausanne chapter of the estate began only at the start of the 19th century, in 1802, when the City acquired it during the sale of national assets. The estate has been farmed organically since 2016.
Pure expressions of their terroir, the wines of the Abbaye de Mont joyfully build bridges between the city, nature, people, and traditions, in a contemporary spirit. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon complement the flagship grape variety: Chasselas.
