Chateau Jacques Boyer - Fils
FRANCE
A winery whose history began in a far 1794 in the center of the Languedoc region – Puissalicon, which is a “circulade”, or a typically Languedoc village built in concentric circles, clinging to the Cévennes slopes. It is here, on this land rich in history, lying in the Côtes de Thongue region, that the vineyard prospers: “La Croix Belle”.
The strength and richness of wines comes in large part from the special characteristics of the terroir. Here, the grapevines grow under their most favourable conditions: the roots plunge downward into a perfect blend of clay, limestone, gravelly soil, silt and pebbles; the bunches of grapes ripen in the brilliant Languedoc sunlight. The results are surprising, harmonious, balanced and delightful.
With the advantage of this exceptional microclimate, the wines indeed have the benefit of wonderful sun tempered by sea breezes and cool night winds off the Cévennes – essentially the Mistral, the Tramontane, the Narbonnaise, and so on.
Winegrowers from father to son, they are part of over two centuries of family know-how, ensuring the continuity of La Croix Belle winegrowing; they use efficient, modern vinification methods, permitting them to continually improve the quality of wines.
