Domaine de Joÿ, nestled in the heart of Gascony in Panjas, is an iconic family vineyard run by Vanessa, Kévin, and Olivier Gessler. Their commitment to quality has elevated the domaine to a benchmark producer of Côtes de Gascogne wines (including a variety of white wines).
Their unique terrain, covering 170 hectares, benefits from a south-facing exposure which, combined with a clay-silica soil and tawny sands, favors the production of wines with fruity, aromatic notes. The influence of the oceanic climate and the Pyrenees plays a key role in the perfect ripening of the grapes.
The history of Domaine de Joÿ goes back to Paul and Marguerite Gessler, originally from Switzerland, who settled in Joÿ at the turn of the century. Their love of the terroir has been passed down through the generations, gradually transforming the estate into a sanctuary dedicated to white grape varieties. Today, the fourth generation, represented by Vanessa and Kévin, continues to cherish and develop this heritage.
Domaine de Joÿ Bas-Armagnac is the fruit of an ancestral tradition and exceptional know-how. Distilled on the estate using a traditional still, each Armagnac reflects the purity and essence of the Gascony terroir. With meticulous attention paid to every stage of production, the Domaine's Armagnacs are then aged in local oak barrels, giving each drop unrivalled richness, elegance and complexity. This amber elixir is the pride of the Domaine, symbolizing generations of passion and expertise.
Committed to an eco-responsible approach, Domaine de Joÿ adoptedSustainable Agriculture in 2005, culminating in High Environmental Value Level 3 certification in 2019. This recognition salutes their ongoing commitment to biodiversity, ecological management and the preservation of resources.
