Marcillac Lo sang del Pais 2023 Domaine de Cros

Marcillac Lo Sang del Pais 2023

🌿 Vineyard Philosophy

Marcillac Lo Sang del Pais is made from 100% pure Fer Servadou (Mansois) grapes, hand-harvested on the steep slopes of Marcillac in the heart of Aveyron. This unique terroir, characterized by iron-rich soils and a cool microclimate, gives the wine its authentic and territorial identity.

🍇 Winery Approach

After manual harvesting, the grapes undergo a 20-day maceration in stainless steel tanks, with no oak contact to preserve freshness and fragrance. No invasive interventions, only stainless steel to highlight the expressive nature of Fer Servadou.

🍷 Tasting Notes

Color: Bright ruby red.
Nose: Fragrant and precise, with iron and slate notes, hints of paprika, dandelion, and radicchio, finishing with cassis.

Domaine du Cros

📍 Marcillac, Aveyron, France

When Dominique (great-grandfather of Philippe, the current owner) bought Domaine du Cros in 1882, it marked the beginning of a beautiful love story between a unique terroir and a family of true enthusiasts, the Teuliers, whose ancestors were already winemakers in Aveyron.

It wasn’t until 1964 that the first bottling arrived: Lo Sang del Pais, which quickly became legendary throughout the Vallon de Marcillac.

Over the years, Domaine du Cros has grown steadily and now boasts 34 hectares of vineyards, all planted with Fer Servadou, a rare native grape variety closely related to Carménère and also known as Mansois.

Since 2006, Julien, the fifth generation of winemakers, has carried on the family tradition with a clear focus on organic and natural practices.

Aveyron, in southwestern France, is a remote and lesser-known area, but it hides gems like this Marcillac. A continental climate, terraced slopes and iron-rich red limestone soils shape this isolated region at the foot of the Massif Central, where agriculture still dominates.

Domaine du Cros exclusively produces Marcillac, with Fer Servadou as its vibrant soul.
