Enclos de la Croix

An authentic place. The Domaine de l'Enclos de la Croix is located in the Languedoc region, in the heart of the Petite Camargue, between the Etang de l'Or and the Cévennes. A place where, with the rhythm of the seasons, they shape the vines to produce wines that they hope will delight your senses. A place where every morning they work towards a gentle viticulture. Indeed, since 2009 the estate is operated in organic viticulture. The estate has a personal journey that is in keeping with the history of the region. On 25 hectares in one piece, a stone wall surrounds the entire estate and closes in on a benevolent cross. It faces the Mistral, the Tramontane and the sea entries. They produce organic wine on a land of limestone alluviums conducive to the development of the vine. Concerned about the environment, biodiversity, permaculture, agro-forestry, ploughing by horse and sheep in the vineyards are their daily routine.

Our story

Domaine Enclos de la Croix was created in 1814. About 40 years ago, they decided to change the grape varieties from Carignan and Aramon to Cabernet, Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Manseng. Eight generations have succeeded one another in running the 25 hectares of the estate, making and marketing the wine. Today, 200 years after its creation, they remain the artisans of this formidable heritage, modernising it 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 winemaking and the development of wines without sulfites. Everything is done to preserve biodiversity.
