The Maguelonne Charter, compiled par les moines bénédictins, explains the importance of the fortifications that have coverseen these croisée des chemins since the 8ème siècle. The médiéval castle belonged à la Bermont D'Anduze family, qui ont été dispossessed in 1229 by the Crown of France at the end de la guerre contre les Cathares. In 1259, two gentlemen brothers, Jean and Guillaume de La Roque, became the owners and planted vines on the pentes of the hillside which protects the estate. In 1426, Firmin de La Roque, acquired a glass factory on the site of Couloubrine, thus giving a nouvelle dimension to the phrase, ‘a marriage of glass and wine'. This nouvelle dynastie of the ‘de La Roque de Couloubrine' reigned until la fin du 17 century. Their descendants continue to cultivate this bountiful land, whose beau fruit provides the special character of the La Roque you taste today.
