Domaine du Cros has grown from just one hectare of land under vine in 1982 to 33 acres today - making it the largest independent producer in the appellation of Marcillac in southwestern France. Philippe Teulier and his family have been instrumental in reestablishing the reputation of Marcillac wines, and the reason why is apparent with this bottle. The local grape of the area is Fer Servadou, locally refered to as Mansois. The iron rich clay at Domaine du Cros lends depth and power to a wine that is at once fruity and savory - hence a bottle label that reads "Lo Sang del Pais" or "blood of the soil." Organic
