Château Croze de Pys

Château Croze de Pys is a legacy recovered in 1966 by René Roche. Previously owned by his illustrious family, Château Croze de Pys had only an abandoned vineyard located in the commune of Vire sur Lot, in the Cahors appellation in the South-West. On this land, consisting of a thick layer of gravel and sand, René Roche replanted Auxerrois, Merlot, and Tannât. In 1987, Jean Roche, his son and oenologist, took over the estate and continued the work of his ancestors.

The vines at Château Croze de Pys are cultivated as naturally as possible, with attention paid to each terroir and using sustainable farming methods that are in the process of being certified. The small plots are harvested manually at optimal maturity, and the vinification process draws on ancestral expertise to bring out the best in each Cahors terroir. Depending on the cuvées produced at Château Croze de Pys, the wines are aged in vats or oak barrels.
