Laurent CORTINAS took over Domaine Croze-Granier in 2000. In 2012, by respect for the terroir and to get the best of Châteauneuf-du-Pape Croze-Granier vineyards Laurent CORTINAS successfully earns the BIO organic certification for Domaine Croze-Granier.
The Domaine Croze-Granier vineyards spread over 4 hectares of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 6 hectares of Lirac and 6 hectares of Côtes-du-Rhône appelations.
In 2012 Laurent Cortinas and his team completely restructures the vineyards.
Since 2012 all our wines are certified BIO, the French organic label.
Cuvée Elise - White
Limpid gold. Fresh melon and honey, pear and orange nectar with a fragrant nose. The texture is silky and seamless, with flavors of dried melon and orchard fruits, and a smoky mineral undertone that develops with air.
Vinous with Josh Raynolds - 2017
Cuvée Elise - White
Apple skin, some hard cheese, some oxidative orange peel character on the finish. It tries hard, but it's a bit hollow in the middle.
Jancis Robinson - 2017
Ancien Domaine des Pontifes - Red
Fermented in concrete and then aged for 12 months in stainless steel.
Vibrant, herbaceous uplift of potpourri and bouquet garni.
It may be full-bodied but there is a lot of energy and a mineral dimension so often overlooked in 2017.
Structural rather than fruity or deep.
Decanter with Matt Walls - 2017
WeinWisser publication reports a 18/20 score to the Cuvée Elise white wine.
