Domaine des Creisses

4.5/5See all 519 reviews

The Domaine des Creisses is a family-owned estate founded in the 19th century. Three generations succeeded one another there during the 20th century, and in 1998, Philippe Chesnelong carried on the family tradition with the ambition of bringing out the full potential of the terroir and revealing a great Mediterranean wine.

The Domaine des Creisses comprises 15 hectares of vineyards, scrubland, woods, and truffle oaks. The vineyard is managed using sustainable agricultural practices and is therefore treated as little as possible, but as much as necessary. Half of the vineyard is left with cover crops, and organic matter is regularly added to ensure balanced, living, porous, and well-drained soils, allowing the vines to develop deep root systems and draw water from deep underground on a consistent basis.

The Domaine des Creisses produces two wines: Les Creisses, produced on an 11-hectare plateau with deep, stony clay-limestone soil that yields dense, silky, and fresh wines; and Les Brunes, grown on a southeast-facing hillside (a former lava flow) planted with Mourvèdre on dark basalt soil—which gave this plot its name.

The Wines of Domaine des Creisses

A favorite drink among French families, wine is always present at festive meals and cocktail parties. An essential accompaniment to delicious meals, it takes pride of place on the table. Domaine des Creisses is one of the leading wine producers, offering only the highest quality wines. A “great wine,” as they say, its wines are consistently ranked among the best.

The Domaine des Creisses in a Nutshell

Our goal remains the same: to bring out the terroir’s full potential in order to create the greatest wine of the Mediterranean.

The production process is carefully designed to produce wine in a sustainable manner. As evidence of this, the vineyard is cultivated using protected and sustainable methods. Les Creisses wine is therefore produced from a vineyard where half the area is covered with grass and where organic matter is regularly added.
