9 January 1950 Late and carefully considered birth of the cellar Under the impetus of a few winegrowers who understood that the economic development of the vine was linked to the ability to bring together people and energies, in 1951 the first harvest was vinified. 75 members, most of whom were “ modest ” small owners, were part of the adventure at the time and 5500hl were vinified . 5 jobs were created and entrusted to people from the village. The cellar thus became the main employer in Montpeyroux.
