A confident, sunlit southern French white that combines generosity with freshness in a beautifully balanced, modern style. Domaine Jones Blanc is expressive and textured, offering ripe citrus and stone fruit alongside a mineral, gently saline edge that keeps everything in check. It’s a wine that reflects its Mediterranean origins without feeling heavy or overblown: warm and inviting on first sip, yet precise and food-focused at heart. This is a white built for the table, equally comfortable alongside vibrant vegetable dishes, seafood or richer poultry-based plates.
Domaine Jones Blanc, ProducerÂ
Domaine Jones is the personal project of Katie Jones, an Australian-born winemaker who settled in the Roussillon after years of experience working across France. Founded in 2008, the estate is based in the foothills of the Pyrenees, where old vines, dramatic landscapes and a dry Mediterranean climate define the region. Katie Jones has become one of the leading voices in modern Roussillon winemaking, championing low yields, sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention in the cellar. Her wines are known for their purity, balance and honesty — never masking the warmth of the region, but always harnessing it with restraint. Domaine Jones Blanc reflects this philosophy perfectly: a wine that celebrates southern fruit while retaining freshness, tension and clarity.
Domaine Jones Blanc, Terroir & Winemaking
The vineyards sit on schist and limestone soils, which play a crucial role in shaping the wine’s character. Schist retains heat and encourages ripeness, while limestone contributes freshness, lift and a subtle mineral backbone. The Mediterranean climate brings long, sunny days, but altitude and cooling evening breezes help preserve acidity. Grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness to balance fruit richness and freshness. In the cellar, fermentation takes place with a light touch, using stainless steel and neutral vessels to protect aromatics and texture. Lees ageing adds gentle roundness and complexity, while oak influence is minimal or absent, ensuring the wine remains bright, expressive and true to its origin.
Domaine Jones Blanc, Tasting Notes
Pale gold with a soft sheen. The nose is inviting and layered, showing lemon zest, ripe pear, white peach and hints of fennel and wild herbs. On the palate, the wine is dry and textured, with flavours of citrus, stone fruit and subtle almond notes. Fresh acidity and a lightly saline finish bring balance and length, leaving the wine feeling poised, savoury and moreish.
