History
Historical cellars
Les caves de l’Abbaye have a singular history in the city of Beaune.
Les caves are located in the neighborhood of Saint Martin, one of the very first of the city of Beaune. Saint Martin, the chef of a christian mission, gave his name to the area after having convinced the local inhabitants to destroy the Gaulish temples glorifying Belen, and replace them by constructing the “Castrum'” in the city center.
Les Caves de l’Abbaye are the fondations of Saint Martin church, built in year 900, property of the Abbaye Saint Martin. After several destructions and reconstructions until year 1622, it is finally destroyed after having been sold to a wine merchant in 1793, after the french revolution. The wine merchant has built a new building from year 1800, by preserving the original foundations of the church, which are now Les Caves de l’Abbaye.
We can assume that Les Caves de l’Abbaye are, before their reconstruction, some of the oldest cellars in Beaune.
