Made in very limited quantities, Les Creisses is a Languedoc treasure. There is so much value to be had in Languedoc, especially with red blends, so we have added one at Whitfield Wines.

Les Creisses 2020 Domaine des Creisses is an incredible red wine from Languedoc that will never make you bored for the simple reason that every year the blend changes completely and so does the wine. Also, another key part that is worthy of being mentioned is that behind Les Creisses is the creator of the legendary Chateau Le Tertre-Roteboeuf from Saint-Emilion.

The wine has a deep red colour, with aromas of ripe red and black fruits, complemented by spicy notes and a subtle hint of leather. What we love about this wine is its refreshing character, enhanced by garrigue undertones and fruity fullness.

The tannins are exceptionally fine, contributing to a superb structure.

Winemaker Philippe Chesnelong’s success keeps growing vintage after vintage, and his wines are adored by sommeliers all over France.

Domaine des Creisses is located in Valros, in the IGP Pays de l'Hérault in Languedoc. The family property was created in the 19th century and was taken over by Philippe in 1998. Louis Mitjaville, his cousin, brings his expertise for winemaking and ageing. The vineyard is under sustainable protection and therefore treated as little as possible, but as much as necessary. It has just been certified High Environmental Value (HVE). The estate has two distinct terroirs: Les Creisses and Les Brunes. Les Creisses consists of an 11-hectare stony clay-limestone plateau with deep soil as well as a development of 20 hectares on hillsides of Villafranchian gravel interspersed with woods.
