Domaine Danjou-Banessy, Côtes Catalanes “Coste” 2024 France Ticking all the right boxes

Ticking all the right boxes now but we can't wait to see what the future holds

A proportion of the fruit is experimental rows of Chenin and Riesling for added pazaz

which keeps the heat on hot days and returns it as needed on those cooler nights

Think soft raspberry fruit and pretty violets

Bullshit good producer

Domaine Danjou-Banessy, Côtes Catalanes “Coste” 2024 France Ticking all the right boxesPlace: Roussillon, France Grape: Macabeu Vibe: Natural What a lovely wine. I'd usually not be too fussed about Macabeu, but we're not dealing with normal vignerons here. From a parcel called Les Terres Rouges, whole bunch pressed before heading into a big old foudre. Starts all smoky before diving into pineapple, nostalgic boiled sweets, fennel, and positive bitters. A lovely wild edge but still so classy.
