Domaine Les Creisses - Les Creisses Red 2021
The Domaine des Creisses is located in Valros, in the IGP Pays de l'Hérault in Languedoc . The family property was created in the 19th century and was taken over by Philippe Chesnelong in 1998. Louis Mitjavile, his cousin, brings his expertise in winemaking and maturing. The vineyard is under reasoned protection and therefore treated as little as possible, but as much as necessary. It has just been certified High Environmental Value (HVE) . The estate has two distinct terroirs: Les Creisses and Les Brunes. Les Creisses is made up of an 11-hectare stony clay-limestone plateau with deep soil as well as a development of 20 hectares on hillsides of Villafranchian gravel interspersed with woods. Les Brunes are brown soils of volcanic origin on hillsides planted with Mourvèdre and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Les Creisses is a blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Marselan Alicante, Mourvèdre and Carignan . The harvest is destemmed, followed by a long maceration of 20 days. The wine is aged for 12 to 18 months.
Grapes: Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Marselan Alicante, Mourvèdre, Carignan
