Our history with this territory of Minervois-La Livinière begins with a beautiful clear sunny morning in December 2005.
We were with a local friend who came to see some vines in the hamlet of Calamiac - which we didn't know - without any intention of buying any and settling there. We instantly fell in love with the place and the landscapes that surrounded us: it was magical, magnetic.
Without thinking too much, through this friend, we quickly acquired plots of vines to renovate - what a galley slave's job - and took out leases on other plots.
We did not know Calamiac but we knew La Livinière, Siran, Minerve, the chapels of Centeilles and Saint Germain and this whole region whose landscapes, architecture, villages and of course its wines and winegrowers that we particularly appreciate we loved.
We had nothing but the vines to work and from the autumn of 2006, we harvested and vinified our first two vintages of Minervois and Cinsault in our friend's cellar for 3 years.
The marketing of these first vintages began on May 10, 2008, a historic date for us: our first wines.
In 2009, our son Julien, who was finishing his studies in viticulture and oenology, to our great joy and practical interest - because how could we continue to work these vines while having another job, moreover - decided to set up as a Young Farmer on these plots.
We started looking for a place to install a cellar, which was not without difficulty. In June 2009, we ended up buying an old cellar to renovate at 1 avenue du Midi in Siran, a cellar which was ready just the day before the first day of the harvest. Since then, all our vintages have been vinified in this cellar.
Julien officially moved in in July 2010.
Domaine les Jeanneterres is now a family business where Julien works manually in the vines and in the cellar: pruning, harvesting, vinification, bottling, helped by his father on weekends and holidays, his mother mainly taking care of the administrative side. Her sister Agnès, who also studied wine and oenology, comes to help from time to time: harvests, tastings, sales.
We take care of everything, from the work in the vineyard, to the work in the cellar, to bottling, from tasting to sales.
Our name “Les Jeanneterres” comes quite simply from the first name of the person from whom we took over the vines: Jeanne, the lands of Jeanne, therefore, in her honor and to thank her.
