The estate: In 1979, Bernard and Cécile Croisille arrived in the town of Luzech, very close to Cahors, without any technical background but with a consuming passion for the land and a life project. After difficult first years of planting and clearing their 7 hectares, the first harvest of 1984 finally arrived. Initially invested in the cooperative system, the couple decided 10 years later to vinify their own vintages. In 2000, a brand new winery was built and things accelerated when Germain, their 2nd son, joined them at the estate. Then, Nicolas, Germain's childhood friend, also entered the farm in 2012. In 2013, the estate was officially converted to organic farming and in 2015 it was finally it's the turn of Simon, the last of the Croisille siblings, to join the family adventure in 2015. In recent years, the wines have continued to gain in precision and the Croisille family now has of around thirty hectares allowing them to offer a beautiful range of wines ranging from pleasure vintages to complex and refined Cahors.
