Story
Danjou-Banessy
Roussillon · Occitanie · France
The Danjou and Banessy families have a rich history of grape and wine cultivation spanning many generations. Traditionally known for producing fortified and rancio wines, the families expanded their vineyards in the 1950s, enabling them to curate an impressive collection of aged wines. In 2001, Benoit Danjou took over the family estate, later joined by his brother Sébastien. Together, they honour the family's legacy by maintaining the production of the renowned fortified wines while also introducing a variety of lighter wines to their portfolio. Domaine Danjou-Banessy adopts a single-vineyard approach across its 17 hectares, with vines averaging 60 years in age.
“Their winemaking practices are fully biodynamic and non-interventionist, a tradition upheld for generations.”
This commitment to natural methods results in wines that are vibrant, elegant, and finely textured.
