Produced in the Gallo-Roman era, the wine of the Côtes de Millau was considered worthy of supplying the table of the Popes in Avignon. At the end of the 19th century, phylloxera destroyed the vineyard. These last decades, a meticulous work on the return to the old grape varieties and a stubborn search for quality have enabled the wines of the "Côtes de Millau" to obtain an Appellation. It is today perpetuated by about thirty winegrowers on a small vineyard of about sixty hectares. From the top of its terraces, the vineyard watches over the causses like a sentinel.
The capping of the yield at 60 hectoliters per hectare reflects the quality policy of the Côtes de Millau winegrowers, who also impose a minimum planting density of 4,500 vines per hectare.
These white wines are made from Chenin and Mauzac grape varieties. These Côtes de Millau wines are very fresh and delicately perfumed. They are long on the palate and pleasantly acidic. These wines open on fine and surprising aromas, on floral notes, with a touch of dried fruits.
