Domaine de la Croix

La Croix Valmer, France

THE ESTATE  It all began in 1882 with the arrival of a young entrepreneur with a passion for oenology, named Albert de Vrégille. Won over by the beauty of the region, its microclimate and its bay, he decided to create a large wine-growing estate for people to visit, which would subsequently enable an entire village to flourish. A UNIQUE EXPERTISE  Domaine de La Croix, with certification for High Environmental Value (HVE), demonstrates its commitment to biodiversity and reducing environmental impact. Under the direction of its Vineyard Manager – Guillaume Biais – the Domaine prides itself on its goals of converting to organic farming and continuing its transition to environmentally-friendly agricultural practices, whilst continuing to produce exceptional wines.  Edouard Planel, Oenologist and Cellar Master, supervises the production of the wines, from the vine to the bottling. With his wealth of experience, he uses his know-how to enhance the terroirs, produce unique cuvées and collaborate with experts such as Michel Rolland (renowned French oenologist) to create wines with the power to evoke lasting emotions. THE AUTHENTICITY OF A TERROIR  The estate is characterised by its maritime terroirs, particularly those of the Bastide Blanche near the sea, which bring complexity and elegance to its wines. The sandy schist soils favour deep root growth and drought resistance. A Cru Classé de Provence since 1955, the estate boasts a modern 3,500 m² winery, designed by the Saint-Tropez architect François Vieillecroze, enabling precise production processes. THE ESTATE THROUGH THE SEASONS  The team at the estate takes great pride in the meticulous management of the vineyard, in which they apply modern winemaking methods. Each step is carried out with expertise, ensuring the creation of superior-quality wines. Outside the tourist season, visitors can learn all about this exceptional know-how in a tranquil setting, in the heart of a preserved wine-growing land
