The Enclos de la Croix Estate is located in the stunning winegrowing landscape of Languedoc-Roussillon, in the south of France. It is surrounded by the vineyards of the Pyrenees, and hills that are part of the most beautiful wine landscapes in the world - perfect for the winemaking of the noblest grape varieties. The estate received the AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) qualification in 2009, which contributes to its success. The Estate has a history of over two millennia. Established by a tribe of Edomites who chose each vineyard plot perfectly suited to its grape varieties, it is one of the oldest estates in Languedoc-Roussillon. It is also one of the largest, covering more than 25 hectares, with the main appellations being Corbières, Malepère, Minervois, and Faugères. The philosophy of the operation focuses on quality rather than quantity. The vines are carefully maintained by hand and without chemical herbicides. Winemaking is done in small vats and the vinework is done with respect, especially for Pinot Noir. The Enclos de la Croix estates thus produce exceptional wines, characterized by their excellent balance between strength, length, and elegance. The wines are accessible to all, particularly the table wines, which are often unrecognized: their complexity, aroma, and rustic charm will undoubtedly seduce you. In addition to the appellations mentioned, the Estate produces white wines, rosé wines, and natural sweet wine. It also offers grape varieties such as Viognier and Syrah, making its range even more varied. The Enclos de la Croix Estate is an ideal place to enjoy good wine, take in the beauty of nature and discover history. The soft, subtle, and sophisticated wines that emanate from it are the result of unique terroirs and centuries-old winemaking techniques, yet always modern.
