Terret

British born Jo Jefferies moved out to Languedoc to help out his dad with some construction work many moons ago. Naturally, he fell in love and decided to stay, later establishing Domaine Bories-Jefferies from vines that used to belong to his in-laws. The vineyard lies on volcanic soils which adds freshness and crazy-good minerality in the finished wines. Inspired by his friends Bernard Bellahsen and Rémi Pujol, Jo describes his wines as home made. He says if you were making a cake at home would you add additives, chemicals? Of course not.

Bernard Bellahsen believes in capturing the essence of a vintage each time he makes a wine. As the ring leader in organic and biodynamic practices in the Languedoc (certified Biodynamic in the 80's), Bernard has not only won the respect of his peers, he has sparked an interest in other aspiring vignerons for making real wines in Languedoc. When Bernard isn't making wine, you can find him looking after his bees and makes and selling his homemade bread at the local market at weekends. Today Bernard also produce Gin destilled on wine.
