About the producer
David Croix earned winemaking fame through his time with Camille Giroud. He was flagged by a group of investors as an incredibly talented winemaker and approached to take the helm of former Beaune winery Domaine Duchet. The new domaine was named after its rising, young star and his first vintage as Domaine des Croix was in 2005 where he made Corton-Charlemagne, Bourgogne Rouge, Beaune and various Beaune Premiers Ccrus from Pertuisots, Cent Vignes, Bressandes and Grèves. In 2017, he left Camille Giroud to purely focus on the domaine, of which he is entirely in charge.

Organic
Working hard in the vineyards, his farming methods have always been organic and he achieved his organic certification in 2008. With David now solely focused on the domaine, he makes 10 wines from across Beaune. He spends the majority of his time in the vineyard where a hands-on approach is applied to viticulture, harvesting incredibly low-yielding vines.
In the cellar, fermentation is in wooden vats with indigenous yeasts, minimal sulphur additions and some whole-bunch. He uses relatively long lees ageing and uses a small, controlled amount of new oak with the rest of the wine aged in old, neutral barrels for 12 to 15 months. Wines are bottled unfiltered and the resulting wines have extreme depth and fine structure, celebrating the terroir from where they have come.
