Domaine de la Croix — Attraction in Draguignan

As I wandered down Route des Carles in Saint-Tropez, I initially felt lost, navigating through the winding roads with only my map for guidance. Just as I was about to give up, I stumbled upon a breathtaking estate surrounded by sprawling vineyards. The golden hour bathed the landscape in a warm glow, transforming the scene into something straight out of a dream. The rows of grapevines seemed to stretch endlessly, their leaves shimmering in the sunlight. I couldn’t believe my luck—this hidden gem felt like a well-kept secret. I paused to take it all in, feeling a deep sense of gratitude for the unexpected beauty that had unfolded before me. It was a perfect reminder of the joys of exploration, where sometimes getting lost leads you to the most stunning places. This enchanting estate truly captured the essence of Provence and left a lasting impression...

We so much enjoyed our first visit and tasting experience with Juliette, that we returned the next week for a second visit with her. This time, we took the opportunity to purchase wine to enjoy on the lovely patio at Domaine de la Croix. The wines produced there are all wonderful, but enjoying them while relaxing on the beautiful patio makes the visit an extraordinary experience. The patio and property are perfectly manicured, the service is exceptional and the experience is second to none. We look forward to our next visit to Domaine de la Croix, to enjoy the incredible wine and share in Juliette’s knowledge...

I bought their rosé wine as a present. Upon drinking it, we had quite a surprise for a 16 euro bottle. Indeed, the nose was very surprising but only by its complete absence. On to its body! Apart from an overwhelming and striking acidity, this wine has no body whatsoever. A finale, if there would be any, qoud non, would be completely stunned by the overbearing acidity. This is not a rosé, it is a travesty, an affront. From what I read on the internet, this wine is top notch, this is how rosé in the Provence is like. Permit me to gladly dismiss the whole appellation....
