Created in the year 1880, the vineyard covered a surface of one hectare and a half during the installation of Victor LEBRETON, died at the age of 97 years in January 97. He was taken over by his son Victor (66 years, now retired) who has teamed up in 1988 with his two children, Victor (37) and Vincent (35).

The harvest was carried out by 5 successive sorts, the last ending at the end of November. “Les Trois Schistes” is the fruit of several sorts harvested on the three terroirs of Domaine de Montgilet. The botrytised harvest had an alcoholic potential of 17% volume on the strain. These bunches or parts of bunches were harvested in 30 kg crates to avoid any crushing and were subjected to slow and long pressing in the vertical press. All this without re-digging, in an attempt to extract the maximum structure from the grape while preserving “finesse and elegance”. This cuvée has fermented and been aged in barrels.
