2018 Domaine Danjou-Banessy, Roboul, Cotes Catalanes

France Mourvedre Cotes Catalanes 750ML
/

Made from Mourvèdre and Grenache Noir from Cotes Catalanes, sourced from a 4 ha single plot of young vines planted on clay and limestone soils with galets roulés (rounded river rocks) on the Agly terraces. Yields are kept low at 30 hl/ha. Vinified using whole clusters, ambient fermentation, and soft "infusion" rather than extraction methods. Aged 12 months in neutral barrels. Bottled via gravity following the Biodynamic calendar.

Having worked with Mourvèdre in the cellar before, it's one of my favorite grapes. The wine had a beautiful approachability rarely seen in Southern France and is changing my opinion of Roussillon wines. It boasted a lovely color, great structure, and pretty red fruits intermingled with earthy qualities. -Haley O'Brien

The Danjou brothers Benoit and Sebastien inherited a vineyard that was once used for the production of Rivesaltes, a sweet, fortified wine. With great care to revitalize the vineyard, the brothers set out to produce individualistic, refined and complex still wines from the ancient vines.

Domaine Danjou-Banessy

A domaine in Espira De L’Aigly, a village in the heart of the sweet wine region of Rivesaltes. Brothers Sebastien and Benoit have taken the vines that have been in their family for generations and made wines that challenge the concept of what Rousillon is, yet show us what Rousillon can be. The Danjou-Banessy wines are bright, lively, complex, and somewhat Burgundian in profile but also represent well their region, “French Catalunya.”

The grapes planted on the 17-ha estate of Danjou-Banessy are traditional-  Cinsault, Mourvedre, Carignan Noir, Grenache Noir, Grenache Blanc, Maccabeu, Muscat of Alexandria, and the very rare Grenache Gris. The farming is organic while practicing biodynamics to a T. The winemaking is minimal and reductive (sans oxygen), which is undoubtedly unique in the area known as the homeland of the “Rancio” style (fortified and entirely oxidized for an extended period). Though if you are looking for rancio and visit the domaine, the brothers will oblige, as it is the wine of their grandfather.
