Coste Danjou Banessy Cotes Catalanes 2024

Coste Danjou Banessy Espira de l’Agly, biodynamic wine, dry white wine, fermented and aged in barrels, racy and minerally with soft texture and generous fruit. One of the best value wines on the site for stunning quality at not an exorbitant price. This white from the Roussillon offers the fine precision and lush fruit that one might expect from top burgundy or a top Loire wine but in the Roussillon and from Macabeu. This grape has great quality potential when the yields are low and the fruit is natural and ripe. This racy yet fleshy wine will keep you sipping and sipping and sipping well into the third bottle.

Grapes and wine have been part of the Danjou & Banessy families for many generations.

While the tradition has always been for fortified and rancio wines, the addition of vineyards during the 50's allowed them to build a ‘library’ of old wines. In 2001, Benoit Danjou took the reins, joined by his brother Sébastien a few years later. They are the keepers of the family’s style, and stock, of old fortified wines, whilst also adding light wines to the range. Domaine Danjou-Banessy uses a single-vineyard approach to winemaking across its 17 hectares of land, using vines with an average age of 60 years. The wine production method is fully biodynamic and non-interventionist, and has been for generations. All of these factors lead to delicious wines that are lively, elegant and softly textured.
