Description

The Vdf Rouge Cinsault L’Amandier from Domaine des Homs is an exemplary wine that exudes elegance and a richness of flavors. Sourced from vineyards in the picturesque Minervois region of France, this red is primarily produced from Cinsault grapes, known for their ability to create light yet expressive wines.

On the nose, the Vdf Rouge Cinsault L’Amandier showcases a vibrant bouquet of red fruits like cherries and raspberries, with an enticing floral note of violets that adds a pleasantly aromatic dimension. On the palate, the wine is brilliantly balanced, offering youthful freshness alongside soft and well-integrated tannins. Its lively acidity makes it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes, from grilled red meat to aged cheeses.

Aged to preserve the freshness and intensity of the fruit, while also possessing enough structure to evolve well over time, the Vdf Rouge Cinsault L’Amandier is ideal for enthusiasts seeking a wine that combines tradition and accessibility without sacrificing complexity.

Winery history

The estate stands on the site of a Roman/Carolingian villa where vines and olive trees were cultivated. It has been managed by the de Crozals family for generations and maintains a strong territorial continuity tied to the Minervois. The property reflects the long history of agricultural activity on the site and carries that legacy forward with careful attention to traditional practices and biodiversity.

Production philosophy

Grown under ECOCERT‑certified organic farming, with a low‑intervention winemaking approach: fermentations are often carried out by indigenous yeasts, and practices aim to preserve soil and biodiversity. Some cuvées are vinified without the addition of sulphites at encuvage.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are located in the Minervois, between Carcassonne and Narbonne, on stony terraces at the foot of the Montagne Noire; the estate is close to the Espace Naturel Sensible de l’Estagnol and also cultivates olive and fruit trees to promote biodiversity.
