Domaine Jones

Katie, an Englishwoman originally from Leicester, left the UK for life in the remote mountain village of Tuchan over twenty years ago, to work for the local wine cooperative. In 2009, Katie swapped the suit and briefcase for shorts and pruning shears and bought her first vineyard - 2.5 ha of old vines – located high up in the Maury hills. Following Domaine Jones’ maiden vintage in 2009, Katie has earned an excellent reputation for her award-winning Fitou and her small but perfectly formed range, which includes parcels of quirky, often lesser-known varietals such as Carignan and Macabeu. All the Domaine Jones wines are produced exclusively from hand-picked grapes grown on very old vines on the steep mountain slopes, resulting in low yields and very high quality.
