91-Points by Wine Enthusiast & Wine Spectator.
Certified Organic!
A 2021 vintage with a Grenache imprint. The nose is fruity, a mixture of raspeberry, wild strawberry and red currant. We also perceive the typical scents of dark chocolate mixed with notes of morello chery and Kirch. The mouth is supple, round, with a nice sweetness underpinned by the aromas of fruit paste.
Blend: 65% Grenache , 20% Syrah & 15% Mourvèdre  
 
The history
Situated in Mazan, ( Vaucluse County ) the Château la Croix des Pins boasts a micro climate from its ideal location between the Mont Ventoux and Les Dentelles de Montmirail in an area classified Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO.
Château la Croix des Pins, an estate full of history.
The history of the estate goes back to the 16th century after the prelate of the pontifical government,  had its headquarters in Carpentras. He built the bastide on a Tuscan-style, according to its origins. The religious character of the building is still present by its interior chapel dating from this period as well as the mighty pergola made from 40 pillars made from Crillon stone, leading to a spring flowing under a centenary oak,  favourable to prayer and meditation.
 
The Château la Croix des Pins was one of the first in the areas to obtain the "Organic" label in 1998.
Since the recovery...
Since 2010, a new team led by Jean-Pierre Valade, regain control of the vineyard. He gave a new life to the Château la Croix des Pins and seeks excellence in the elaboration of its wines. The vineyard as been restructured and new grape varieties were planted. An exceptional ageing cellar with barrels was created and new equipment as been installed to make selections and  separate different grape varieties to reach our goals.
