Les moines, réunis en « Chapitres » religieux, étaient d'importants propriétaires dans la Côte Chalonnaise et la région de Mâcon. Sur leurs terres, les moines produisent d'abord le vin nécessaire à la célébration de la messe. Peu à peu, par un travail assidu, ils font progresser la viticulture, la qualité et les rendements. Les communautés peuvent alors vendre une partie de leur vin.
Au 15ème siècle, la qualité de leurs vins est reconnue dans toute l'Europe. Ils développent ainsi un savoir-faire viticole unique, transmis et amélioré de génération en génération. Leurs méthodes rigoureuses s'intéressent à tous les aspects de la viticulture (taille de la vigne, comparaison et sélection des cépages, conservation du vin, etc.). Le Domaine du Chapitre, fort de ce capital précieux, produit aujourd'hui des vins d'une qualité rare, fruit du travail de nombreuses générations. Read more
