The adventure of the Croisille family began in 1979 when Cécile and Bernard rented an abandoned property on the land of Causses de Luzech. They cleared and brought back to life these lands that gradually became parcels where the Malbec is king.
Their son Germain joined them in 2007, followed by Nicolas, his childhood friend in 2010 and finally Simon, the last one of the family who joined the team in 2015. Today, the estate boasts 30 hectares of vines and the young generation, passionate about wine, brings a new vision to viticulture as well as new ambitions for the wines of the estate.
Some projects have already been completed (certification in Organic Farming since 2013) and others are underway as the current revision of the range, which comes from a new way of thinking wine: to vinify by Terroir and to understand the richness of this great diversity of limestone soils to get a little closer to the purity of great wines.
