You’re invited to rescue an elderly Languedoc vine.
One that’s much older than you are.
You will be rewarded with extraordinary wines of a quality rarely seen in the south of France.
There’s so much packed into my new club, I have to make you a list of what membership brings...
12 bottles of my vineyard collection or 6 bottles of La Perle Rare, my personal best - the wine I call the SPERTUCHAN!
You'll have access to my wines, including the small release and rare vine specials that I don't put on the open market.
A thank you rescue pack from your vine including their photo, the club t-shirt, a Domaine Jones keyring and your membership card.
Includes a trip in the iconic citroen dyane to meet your old vine for a glass of wine whilst admiring the view from the beautiful vineyard setting.
An invitation to the old vine annual harvest day picnic. A chance to meet, greet and enjoy. And help pick the grapes.
- An open invitation to a complimentary tasting of my full range of wines at my boutique winery in Tuchan.
A 10% VineRescuer discount at the Domaine Jones wine shop in Tuchan
Regular updates from your vine itself.
Annual membership of The Old Vine Club £320 per year.
You can choose just to rescue a vine for £70. You’ll still get all the benefits of the club apart from the tied-in wine deals.
My new club has to be small. I manage it myself, alone.
It has to be exclusive – the wines are the antithesis of mass market, big production wines.
It has to be for lovers of exquisite, gastronomique wines, who will understand the subtlety and nuance that comes with Old Vine viticulture.
And most importantly.... It has to be dedicated to a cause.
I could use words like “heritage” and “patrimonie” but let’s keep it simple. The South of France has a unique resource of old, often neglected, small producing, but priceless quality, vines. Unless I and some of my fellow winemakers take action now they will be lost to short term, boring, uniform quality winemaking. I worked my socks off to make Fitou a world class wine and I’m not stopping there.
Your vine asks me to tell you it’s waiting for you.
Rescue an old vine
“When Katie asked me if I’d like to rescue an old vine I jumped at the chance. I chose Claudia (she’s magnificent!) and love seeing how she’s getting on throughout the growing season. Great wine starts in the vineyard and this scheme is a wonderful way to get involved.”
