Enclos de la Croix

An authentic and true place.... Domaine de l'Enclos de la Croix is located in the Languedoc, in the heart of the small Camargue, between the Etang de l'Or and the Cévennes. A place, where, at the rhythm of the seasons, they shape the vine to produce wines that, they hope, will flatter your senses. A place where every morning they walk towards a gentle viticulture. Indeed since 2009 the estate has been operating in organic viticulture. The farm has a personal background that reflects the history of the region. Over 25 hectares in one piece, a stone wall completely surrounds the estate and closes on a benevolent cross. It faces the mistral, tramontane and maritime entrances. They produce organic wine on a soil of calcareous alluvium that is favourable to the development of the vine. Concerned about the environment, biodiversity, permaculture, agroforestation, horse ploughing and sheep in the vineyards are their daily lives.

Our story

Domaine Enclos de la Croix was created in 1814. About 40 years ago, they decided to change grape varieties to replace Carignan and Aramon with Cabernet, Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Manseng. Eight generations followed one another to exploit the 25 hectares of the estate, the vinification of this production and its marketing. Today, 200 years after its creation, they are still the artisans of this wonderful heritage, which has been modernized over the years. As the owner of the estate, Mr. Frézouls, would say:"We are borrowing this land from our children, it is precious, let us protect it". This is why they have turned to a gentle cultivation of the soil: no chemical fertilizers, no pesticides, organic vinification and the production of sulphite-free vintages. Everything is in place to preserve biodiversity.
