Domaine Croix La Pagèze – Wines of the Massif de la Clape
A vineyard in the heart of the Mediterranean. The Domaine Croix La Pagèze stretches over 70 hectares of vines, nestled at the foot of the Massif de la Clape and open to the Mediterranean Sea. This unique terroir, composed of gravelly soils, benefits from generous sunshine and sea breezes that bring freshness and minerality to the wines. This natural balance gives each cuvée a distinctive identity, both authentic and elegant.
The story of a passionate winemaker
Since 1990, Jean-Marie Castells has devoted his life to the vine. First a farm worker, he became the owner in 2002 and embodies the figure of the winegrower-farmer, deeply attached to the land. His meticulous work combines respect for the terroir, rigorous grape variety selection, and family know-how passed down through several generations.
The history of the estate is rooted in a living memory: as early as the 1950s, Jean-Marie’s grandfather grazed his sheep here. The cross that today adorns the property’s wall recalls the artisanal and creative spirit of his ancestors, between winemaking tradition and cultural heritage.
