- Adding a small percentage of white grapes gives this a lift, accentuating the wild strawberry and raspberry notes. The palate is soft and lush, although there are still plenty of tannins here, and the finish is layered and complex, offering flavours of herbs and crushed stones alongside the ripe fruit.

Domaine of the Bee is the result of the personal passion of Master of Wine Justin Howard-Sneyd who, following a particularly inspiring visit to Roussillon in 2004, purchased four hectares of vines close to the village of Maury. The vineyards are planted predominantly with Grenache and Carignan and are split over three plots, with vines aged between fifty and one hundred years. The wines speak unashamedly of the hot, dry climate of the south, but with a freshness and vivacity that tempers the heft. Whilst they are named with tongue firmly in cheek, do not let that fool you – these delicious wines are serious examples of the combined potential of old vines and Roussillon’s rugged terroir

| Winery | Domaine of the Bee is a tiny patch of vineyards in ancient Maury, in the Roussillon, owned by Justin Howard-Sneyd MW, his wife Amanda, and their friend Philippe Sacerdot. Domaine of the Bee produces between 3,000-8,000 bottles annually from just four hectares. The vineyards are on steep slopes packed with seriously gnarled vines between 60-100 years old. The hand-picked grapes make red wines that are deeply coloured and full-bodied, but the occasional white and pink from local grapes varieties are also made with the help of winemaking neighbour Jean-Marc Lafage. |
