Enclos de la Croix

An authentic and true place... The Domaine de l'Enclos de la Croix is located in the Languedoc, in the heart of the little Camargue, between the Etang de l'Or and the Cévennes. A place, where, to the rhythm of the seasons, they shape the vine to produce wines which, they hope, will flatter your senses. A place where every morning, they make their way towards a gentle viticulture. Indeed since 2009 the estate has been run in organic viticulture. The exploitation has a personal path in line with the history of the region. On 25 hectares in one piece, a stone wall entirely surrounds the estate and closes on a benevolent cross. It faces the Mistral, Tramontane and the sea entrances. They produce organic wine on a land of limestone alluvium which is favourable to the blossoming of the vine. Concerned about the environment, biodiversity, permaculture, agro-forestation, ploughing on horseback and sheep in the vineyards are their daily routine.

Our story

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