Germain, Nicolas, and Simon run Château Les Croisille, located in Luzech in the Cahors AOC. It all started as a family adventure in 1979 when Cécile and Bernard Croisille took over the lease, carrying ‘a touch of youthful madness,’ a huge passion for the terroir, and a real life project. Seven hectares were cleared and planted, and it wasn’t until 1984 that the first harvest was delivered to the Parnac co-op. Ten years later, they started vinifying and bottling their own wine, and in 2000 they moved into their own winery, a restored old estate they brought back to life with their own hands. Germain joined his parents in 2008, beginning the conversion to organic and biodynamic farming. Then came Nicolas, Germain’s childhood friend, in 2012, followed by Simon, the youngest of the siblings, in 2015. Together, the Croisille family has brought a breath of fresh air to Cahors, with a 30-hectare vineyard in full maturity, precise natural winemaking, and constant innovations.
Sulphites-free wine
On red and black fruits, plum, with a little touch of licorice... On the palate, we’re in the spirit of a juicy Cahors, it’s really good, and even more so at such a cool price!
Sulphites-free wine
"Blackberry coulis, vanilla, spices… The nose is loud and proud, just like the palate. The tannins are powdery but firm, giving structure. A wine you’d want to pair… with a ribeye! And it’ll shut up your father-in-law who keeps whining he 'doesn’t like natural wines!'"
Sulphites-free wine
You get the same blackberry coulis as in the Silice cuvée, but this time it’s spiced up with notes of allspice, leather, and violet. The palate is seriously structured, the tannins hold up perfectly to all that aromatic complexity, and the whole thing is just pure elegance.
Minimal sulphites
A one-off cuvée made only from the 2021 vintage, which was super cold and totally atypical. Less ripeness, so the grape shows a different side. In the glass, it’s fine and expressive, a bit reductive too… it almost Pinot‑izes! Very beautiful discovery.
Sulphites-free wine
The porous rock from the aging links the original terroir to the mineral expression you find in the glass… as you’d expect from the name of this cuvée! Blackcurrant, finesse, a nice tannic thread, great length, and an unexpected gunflint finish.
Minimal sulphites
An excellent Malbec, pure expression of the grape and its terroir—pretty powerful, all about jammy black fruits, coffee, cocoa… The palate is concentrated, complex, elegant. Absolutely divine after a little rest in your cellar!
Minimal sulphites
A fully blossomed cuvée, the most accomplished of the estate, showing notes of Burlat cherry, blackberry, chocolate, oak, and fresh tobacco. The palate is powerful and concentrated, yet soft, supple, and silky. Great aging potential.
