Cru D’exception

Cru D’exception Merlot

During the 1990s, “vins de garaje”or “garage wines” emerged in the Bordeaux landscape with the following characteristics: made from highly concentrated grapes from a micro terroir with very low yields due to early thinning. They are vinified in a garage in tailormade tanks or small scale foudres per a detailed protocol. Designed as perfumes, these wines are concentrated, complex and have high aging potential. In 2000, Familia Deicas began to produce varietal wines of this same “haute couture” style, which is how the Cru d’Exception line was born.
