DOMAINE PIERRE CROS - Vielles Vignes 2019
Domaine Pierre Cros is located in the Minervois appellation, in Languedoc. His father Henry and his grandfather Marius, even if they owned a few plots of vines, were above all the bakers of the village of Badens. Pierre Cros did not study oenology but learned the essential gestures of the winemaker in the field, in the 1970s. The estate covers fifty hectares of which only half is planted with vines. The other part is made up of garrigue, almond trees, olive trees, oak trees and Pierre Cros has long understood the importance of respecting the environment and understanding his terroir that is why he refuses any organic or biodynamic certification since he has always worked this way.
Vieilles Vignes is a cuvée made entirely from 100-year-old Carignan. It is vinified in stainless steel tanks for 4 monthswhere it undergoes carbonic maceration, then aged 6 months in barrels.
Grape variety: 100% Carignan
