Production

This wine is crafted from grapes grown in a terroir characterized by black schist and clay soil, following biodynamic farming practices. The timing of agricultural processes is determined by the lunar phases, and the grapes are hand-harvested. During vinification, 100% of the grapes are destemmed and soaked in liquid for 30 days to soften. The wine is then aged for 15 months in oak barrels.

About the Winery

Domaine Danjou Banessy

Located at Espira, a few kilometres away from Rivesaltes, Domaine Danjou-Banessy is an old family estate that was producing only fortified and dry rancio wines until Benoit took over from his father 10 years ago. His brother, Sebastien, an English teacher, joined the domaine full time 5 years ago. They are now producing dry whites and reds from very old vines of local grapes such as their rare and original carignan gris. Their soil has always been free from any chemicals; their father and grandfather were bio before anyone else. They are as non-interventionist as possible in the cellar. Benoit and Sebastien are Catalans but friends with many neo-vignerons that came from all over the world to Roussillon to produce great wines. Tradition and open-mindedness could explain the quality of their wines.
