Le Credo represents the flagship of the Cazes family's estate. A truly reflection of their Catalan origins, the estate has collaborated with renowned winemaker René Barbier. The cuvée represents the truest expression of the Roussillon soils and the spirit of the Catalan culture.

Sourced from the family's oldest vineyards from the best plots. Meticulous vineyard and parcel selection prior to harvest. Grapes are hand-harvested in s single layer into 10KG baskets. Grapes are cool to 5C for 24 hours, then hand-sorted first by bunches and then by berries. Yields are approximately 15hl/ha.

2013 Vintage: An unusual start to the vintage which was extremely cool and wet compared to previous years. The delayed bud break meant  there would need to be a long dry fall for vines to catch up. The grenache vines, which are sensitive to coulure, were impacted by the cool wet spring, which led to severely reduced yield. The summer was very warm and dry, but sufficient rainfall early in the season meant there was little to no hydric stress in the vineyards. As harvest approached, a sizeable rainstorm replenished water tables and helped maintain acidities, however picking times were pushed back to later than usual. Come harvest, quality was very good with higher than normal acidities due to the cooler conditions and delayed start to the season. Wines are vivacious, spicy and have a lot of finesse complete with firm tannins and high acidity giving the capacity for extended aging.
