About Domaine Dame Jeanne

Domaine Dame Jeanne is a small, independent wine project rooted in the remote hills of the Hautes-Corbières, in southern France. Founded and farmed by hand, the domaine is guided by a deep respect for nature and an instinctive approach to winemaking. Its wines are raw, vibrant, and full of the wild energy of the landscape they come from.

The domaine takes its name from the “dame-jeanne”—the traditional glass demijohns used for fermenting and aging wine—a nod to patience, simplicity, and transformation. These vessels represent the philosophy at the heart of the domaine: to listen more than intervene, and to let nature set the pace.

Old vines of Carignan, Grenache, Syrah, and Macabeu, many over sixty years old, grow in stony, limestone soils surrounded by garrigue and shaped by wind and drought. The vineyard is farmed organically and manually, with no herbicides, pesticides, or irrigation. Every decision—from pruning to harvest—is made in response to the rhythms of the land, not the market.

In the cellar, the same low-intervention approach continues. Fermentations are carried out with indigenous yeasts, and the wines are made without added sulfites, without fining, and without filtration. Aging takes place in neutral barrels, fiberglass, or in the eponymous dame-jeannes, allowing each cuvée to develop freely, without pressure or manipulation.

The wines of Domaine Dame Jeanne are not made to fit into a mold. They are alive, expressive, and sometimes a little wild—wines that capture a moment, a vintage, a place. They are made to be shared: with food, with friends, with joy.

Domaine Dame Jeanne is more than a winery—it is a quiet, thoughtful rebellion against standardization. A celebration of imperfection. And a deep, personal commitment to honest, living wine.
