Chateau Les Croisille, Cahors Silice 2020

100% Malbec. Sandy, ferrous red clay soils. A pure interpretation of its Malbec terroir, the wine undergoes a long maceration period and one year of ageing in old oak barrels.

The Croisille family’s adventure began in 1979 when Cecile and Bernard rented an abandoned domaine on the Causses de Luzech terroir. They cleared the land and brought it back to life, gradually creating vineyard parcels in which the Malbec varietal now reigns supreme. Their son Germain joined them in 2008, followed by his childhood friend Nicolas in 2010 and lastly by Simon, who joined his family at the domaine in 2015. The domaine now covers 30 hectares of vines. The members of the younger generation have brought their passion for wine and fresh perspective on viticulture to the estate giving its wines new ambitions and a new lease of life.
