The art of winemaking must be in the blood of brothers Benoit and Sébastien Danjou-Banessy – grapes and vines have been a part of their family heritage for generations.
In the 1950s, Benoit and Sébastien’s grandfather had bought further vineyards and created a “library” of rancios. Benoit worked alongside his grandfather until they produced their final vintage together in 2000.
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.

Winemaking
The grapes are completely destemmed, followed by a 30-day maceration and aging in old oak barrels between 15 and 22 months.
