The Ministère de la Culture's notice

C'est dans un contexte économique de plein essor que ces caves furent construites. Elles sont datables du 14e siècle, voire du 13e siècle. Voûtées d'ogives nervurées, elles retombaient, à l'origine, sur des colonnes monolithes de grès partiellement enchâssées dans des murs de refend qui témoignent d'une utilisation ultérieure différente. Ces caves se distinguent par la qualité de leurs voûtements et de la construction de leur bâti

It was in a context of full economic expansion that these cellars were constructed. They are datable to the 14th century, or even the 13th century. Vaulted with ribbed ogives, they originally rested on monolithic columns of sandstone partially set into partition walls which testify to a different later use. These cellars are distinguished by the quality of their vaulting and the construction of their fabric.
