A month on the skins turns Muscat of Alexandria — the grape everyone associates with sticky sweet wine — into something bone-dry, savory and faintly bitter, which is about as far from expectation as an orange wine can travel. It comes from a single 1.5-hectare parcel planted before 1950 on the black schist and marl of Les Terres Noires, north of Perpignan, farmed by brothers Benoît and Sébastien Danjou-Banessy, who took over their grandfather's land in 2001 and pointed an estate built on Rivesaltes toward dry wine instead. The fruit goes in as lightly crushed whole clusters and ferments on ambient yeast, then rests 10–12 months split between used barrels, amphorae and cement before being bottled by gravity, unfined and unfiltered, with a single small dose of sulfur. All of it happens on the lunar calendar — the brothers bottle on fruit days — which sounds like theater until you taste how little the wine seems to have been handled. One parcel, low yields, no appellation to hide behind: this is skin contact made by people chasing finesse rather than funk.

More about Domaine Danjou-Banessy

The wines of Domaine Danjou-Banessy have this sense of suave minerality and ripe fruit accented by undertones of herbs that are reminiscent of the best wines of Montsant. The domaine is a 17-hectare estate located just north of Perpignan, managed by brothers Benoît and Sébastien Danjou-Banessy who inherited the estate from their grandfather in 2001. If you ask the grandfather, Denis Danjou-Banessy, when the family first started farming the land he will tell you “Since forever”. Although the grandfather and his forebears had for generations made Rivesaltes, the brothers have focused their considerable talents on the production of dry red and white wines.

Like the wines further south, on the other side of the border with Spain, Danjou-Banessy makes wines from varieties like Macabeu, Carignan, Mourvedre, and Grenache as well as Muscat d'Alexandrie and Syrah. The vineyards are farmed biodynamically and winemaking is strictly non-interventionist. With diverse soil makeup the brothers strive to showcase the unique qualities of each parcel in their various cuvées. reflect not only the variable cépage but also the distinct parcels of vineyards with strikingly different soils. The Truffière and Myrs vineyards lie on black schist and limestone while other vineyards lie on marl with silica and clay/limestone mixture.

These are one-of-a-kind wines that exhibit qualities that speak of style that will become a lasting tradition. The brothers use unconventional methods like crushing by foot, whole cluster fermentation for white wines, spontaneous fermentation, and even some elevage sous voile. All of the wines are stylistically distinct but invariably brilliant and complex.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Moroccan chicken tagine with preserved lemon and olives; roast pork belly with fennel; Sichuan dry-fried green beans; a plate of aged Comté and toasted almonds; grilled sardines with charred lemon.

Tasting Profile

Deep gold to amber, dry despite the Muscat perfume. Orange peel, dried apricot, jasmine and tea leaf on the nose, with a smoky, stony edge. Medium-bodied and textured, with light grip from the skins rather than real tannin, and firm acidity keeping it lifted. Finishes long, savory and gently bitter, like citrus pith.
