Organic White Wine – The Secret

Enclos de la Croix – The Secret – Organic White Wine of Languedoc

The enclos de la Croix is located in the heart of “la petite Camargue” between “l’Etang de l’Or” and the Cévennes mountains in the village of Lansargues. Traditionally a wine-growing village. The Vineyards’ personal background lives up to the history of its region. Built on a 24 Hectare parcel and surrounded by a charming low stone wall, the benevolent cross looks after the property. Between northern and southern winds (“Tramontane” and “Mistral”), we cultivate the vine on limestone clay soils where we prouve to be consistant in containing the energy of the stem to make a fine organic white wine.
