The Story

Founded in 1882, Domaine de La Croix spurred the creation of th village of La Croix-Valmer, a Mediterranean gem. This distinguished Cru Classé vineyard, recognized in 1955, thrives on Saint-Tropez's unique soils, producing exceptional AOC Côtes de Provence wines : the vines benefit from fine maritime influences, ideal for their development. The estate's three highly diversified terroirs, including a little gem called Bastide Blanche overlooking the sea, produce grapes of the highest quality. The heterogeneous, predominantly sandy-schist soils enable the roots to penetrate deep into the soil. This makes the vines less sensitive to lack of water, while promoting complexity and finesse of aromas. The hard work for producing outstanding wines is credited to the Bolloré family's vision. Michel Rolland, a renowned oenologist, enhances the vineyard's charm. His blending expertise gives each wine a captivating uniqueness.
