Domaine Jones Fitou 2012
About the wine
- When vandals poured Katie's entire year's vintage down the drain, she turned to us. You lovely lot helped to get her back on her feet - this is her way of saying thank you!
- BIG, full bodied and very concentrated. Tastes great now. But it'll be even MORE amazing if you can hold onto it for a few months (we're thinking pride of place on your Christmas dinner table!)
- 2,500 Angels snapped most of this up in just 48 hours on a MarketPlace deal back in May. Don't worry if you missed out, Katie kept some aside especially for you.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Katie Jones
- Katie’s love of wine led her all the way from Leicestershire to the Languedoc where she bought an idyllic vineyard perched half-way up a hill in Tuchan. In 2013 she experienced every winemaker’s worst nightmare when vandals emptied her entire year’s vintage down the drain.
- She turned to us. And 2,500 Angels helped to get her back on her feet - clubbing together to raise over £200k in just 48 hours. Our Queen of the Languedoc was able to start again and has gone on to make some seriously delicious wines, with sparkly awards a plenty.
- Thanks to her beloved Angels, Katie has been able to nab more hilltop vineyards, expand her range and even move her winemaking operation into an old railway station to fit in more barrels. It’s a long way from the 600 cases of wine she made in her garage in 2009!
