Terre Inconnue

Before producing wine, Robert Creus was an aeronautic scientist. After having travelled a lot, especially in South America, he decided to come back to his home place: The Languedoc. The story of “Terre Inconnue” began in 1996, when he bought his first vineyard, a 2,000m²plot of old Carignan located on the North-West of Montpellier. Shortly after, he obtained some old Grenache and some Tempranillo, a Spanish traditional grape variety. Robert has since added some more Grenache and an old variant of Syrah called ‘Serine’, some of which is found in Hermitage and St Joseph…

Today Robert owns 4 hectares in total.. He runs the Domaine helped by his father. They both share a vision of wine that should be produced in total respect of the land and the ecosystems. Together they create low yield top quality wines. Each vine gives on average 4 to 6 grapes! Each cuvée is made from one grape variety only, which is quite uncommon in the region. But as Robert says: “My wines have a lot of personality because I have a lot of personality as well!”.
