Admirably directed by winemaker Philippe Chesnelong, the Domaine des Creisses has become a Languedoc institution. Assisted by his illustrious oenologist cousin Loulou Mitjaville (Tertre Roteboeuf in Saint-Emilion), Philippe Chesnelong vinifies two successful cuvées, sought-after for their excellent price/pleasure ratio. Unique reds with a Cabernet-Sauvignon majority in two versions: the “normal” cuvée, Les Creisses, an excellent value for money, and the “grand cuvée de garde”, Les Brunes, made from old vines rooted in a basalt flow (brown in color...) blended with a few old Grenaches and Syrahs. Both cuvées, aged in oak barrels, are highly sought-after by sommeliers in Michelin-starred restaurants.

“The cuvée les brunes is generally more powerful, while the cuvée des creisses is more immediate and bursts with flavor. A truly fine address.” (Guide Bettane + Desseauve: 1★/4).
