Tasting Notes
Le Coste Blanc is 100% Macabeo and is considered an indigenous variety to the region. The wines spents 10 months in old oak and is handled very gently in the winery. Golden hue with hints of green in the glass, packed full of fresh pear and peach with a gorgeous mineral finish. - Pete L
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. - Importer Note
