Famille Croisille

Starting from nothing and armed with their passion for the Luzech terroir, Bernard and Cécile Croisille created the estate in 1979. They took the crazy gamble of bringing life back to a 7-hectare vineyard that was then fallow. Patience was required as this project led them to produce their first harvest only in 1984, which they sold in a cooperative cellar. The taste of work well done and the will to make their own wine quickly took over. That's why 6 years later, motivated as ever, they made their first bottling. This new story began in the premises of the neighboring farm, since it was there, for 10 years, that they began to vinify their wines. The association with the neighboring farm ended in 2000 when they moved to new winery, acquired and renovated with their own hands. In 2008, Germain Croisille, their son, arrived on the property and decided to develop the estate in organic farming. Only two years later, Chateau Les Croisille obtained the certification. The presence of iron in the chalky soils of the chateau make this terroir an excellent playground for the fabulous Cahors grape variety that is Malbec!
