The site where Coteau Rougemont now stands was first settled in 1816. It quickly became known for its fertile soil as well as the quality of its crops, livestock and forest products. In 1883, it became home, albeit briefly, to Quebec’s first agricultural school.
In 1935, after having changed hands a few times, the estate was sold to the Oblate fathers. In 2006, it was acquired by Claude Robert, an entrepreneur originally from the Rougemont area, putting the vast orchard and its 40,000 trees under the control of the Robert family.
