Hello and Welcome to Domaine of the Bee.

The 2009 vintage has now been bottled and shipped, and arrived in England at the beginning of August. It is all on the website and ready to order!

The 2011 vintage is now all harvested, fermented, pressed, and racked, and sitting in tank waiting to go into barrels. We are really pleased with the quality, and for once the volume is higher than average, although this still means less than 5,000 bottles from our 4 hectares.

We'll be tasting through our barrels of 2010 soon, to decide what makes it into the blend, and whether the 'Les Genoux' barrels are good enough this year to bottle separately. More of this later

We hope to see you sometime this autumn!

Justin, Amanda and Philippe

We've made it to The Sunday Times!!
We are really excited - our biggest break to date - a really great review from Bob Tyrer in The Sunday Times! Bob chose Domaine of the Bee as one of his 'Liquid Hunches' in an article on British 'sentimentalists' living the dream by making wine in France. He described our 2009 like this: "Sheen of bright fruit over intruiging minerally depths". What is even more pleasing is that Bob actually bought a case from us, which shows he is prepared to put his money where his mouth is - it is great to see proper grown-up wine people liking and buying our wine. The hard work is beginning to pay off - we are not making Domaine of the Bee as a moneyspinner - are we sentimental or just mental? - I am not sure.
