Domaine Danjou-Banessy is located in the town of Espira de l'Agly, north of the city of Perpignan in the Pyrenees Orientales. Benoît Danjou and his brother Sébastien inherited from their grandfather this old vineyard which was used for the production of Rivesaltes. Today, they manage around fifteen hectares of parceled vines, aged 15 to 120 years. The vineyard is made up of a wide variety of soils (shale, sandstone, clay-limestone, quartz, pure clay, sand and silt), which requires plot work on different islets. Each cuvée produced represents a plot, a soil, a locality, a way of working. Benoît and Sébastien practice biodynamic techniques to enrich the soil and the vineyard is certified in organic farming.
