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
Domaine Danjou-Banessy is a small, family estate in Roussillon, based near Espira-de-l’Agly, run by brothers Benoît and Sébastien Danjou. The domaine has been in the family since the late 19th century, but it was the brothers who transformed it into one of the region’s most respected artisanal producers, farming organically and biodynamically across old-vine parcels rooted in schist, marl and clay-limestone soils.
Their vineyards include rare old plantings of Grenache, Carignan and Mourvèdre, along with Macabeu and Muscat for whites. In the cellar, the approach is thoughtful and restrained: hand harvesting, native fermentations, long élevage in neutral vessels, and minimal additions. The brothers also maintain a tradition of oxidative winemaking inherited from their grandfather, producing remarkable old-vine Rivesaltes and other fortified wines alongside their still cuvées.
The wines of Danjou-Banessy are known for their purity, energy and depth, capturing the rugged beauty of Roussillon while balancing freshness with complexity. They stand as one of the leading lights of the region’s new generation, bridging tradition and innovation with authenticity.
