Domaine Jones is owned and run by Katie Jones. Katie was the Sales and Marketing Director for the Mont Tauch co-operative in the Languedoc for nearly twenty years until she fell in love with a small 3.5 hectare vineyard in the Maury Valley in 2007.
The wine-making philosophy at Domaine Jones is to employ traditional, down–to-earth farming methods and innovative winemaking techniques to capture the characteristics of the terroir and the local area. Domaine Jones wines are only produced in very small quantities – this truly is boutique wine-making.
 
The grapes for Domaine Jones Vieilles Vignes Fitou are harvested from 20 vineyards owned by Katie scattered about the village of Tuchan. The secret to the quality of Katie’s Fitou probably has a lot to do with the vine age – most of the vines are over 100 years old, bringing complexity, freshness, depth and a beautiful texture to the wine. The grapes are sourced from small plots planted with just one grape variety on different soil types.
 
From Ashby-de-la-Zouch with love!
 
TNWG Food Suggestion: Time for stews! This goes wonderfully well with pork dumplings or for me, it's time to bring the slow cooker out and do all those lovely version of beef dishes - my personal favourite, Beef Stifado!
