Cave
In
1930s the
two brothers Achille and Leopold Granier acquired the property
which at that time covered
50 ha. They
built
cellars able to
accommodate the production of wines from 50 ha. All wine
was sold to negociant. As
the
estate currently covers
17 ha the
cellar
has plenty of space.
The brothers Granier began in 1972 to bottle the best part of the wines.
In
1986 Achille's
daughter Françoise Granier took over the
property's buildings and parts of the vineyards. Her son Laurent Cortinas has been responsible for winemaking since he
completed his oenological education in 1997. He is in practice the leader of the domain.
The
vineyards cover 4,5 ha
of Chateauneuf du Pape, 6 ha of
Lirac and
6,5 ha of
Cotes du Rhone which have been certified agriculture biologique since 2012.
Lirac
and Cotes du Rhone is produced with
the name Domaine Croze Granier, while one
cuvée of Chateauneuf
du Pape are marketed
under the name
Ancien Domaine des Pontifes and
two other cuvées are named Domaine
Croze-Granier.
