At Domaine des Croix, David Croix has quietly become one of Burgundy’s most compelling voices, a winemaker whose evolution mirrors that of his vines. Early on, David’s wines were, by his own admission, “darker and tighter,” shaped by youth and ambition. But as the years have passed and the domaine’s vines have matured, so too has his style. The wines today are brighter, more expressive, and more accessible in their youth—a reflection not only of David’s own growth but of the natural balance he has cultivated in his vineyards.

Founded in 2005, Domaine des Croix is a relatively young estate by Burgundian standards, yet David has approached his work with the patience and humility of someone deeply attuned to his land. The conversion to organic farming in 2008 marked a turning point, and the rewards are now undeniable. The wines have gained a new structural complexity—an energy and tension that feel effortless and deeply rooted in place. David often says it’s not him shaping the wines anymore but the vines themselves, a quiet acknowledgment of the symbiotic relationship between grower and land.
