Summer Parties & The Perfect Host Gift

 

A summer party wine & host gift from the Luberon

Bringing wine to a summer gathering, or thanking someone for having you? Domaine des Jeanne is a small, family-founded estate in the Luberon — the elevated, southern stretch of Provence near Châteauneuf-du-Pape. We make pale, dry rosé in the classic Provençal style, hand-made on seven hectares in Oppède and sent by the case across the UK. A case is built for warm evenings, grilled food and outdoor tables — and as a host or thank-you gift it says more than a single supermarket bottle.

The best wine for a summer party: JJ Rosé by the case

For a summer party, our signature still rosé JJ Rosé is the natural choice. Pale, dry and made from grapes grown around the Luberon, it carries fresh wild strawberry, raspberry, watermelon and citrus, with a clean, food-friendly finish. It is exactly the easy, fruit-forward pink most people reach for in warm weather — light enough to drink in the garden, with enough character to sit alongside food.

Sent by the six-bottle case, it covers a crowd rather than running out after one bottle, and works from welcome drinks through to the meal. Serve it well-chilled.

 

A host & thank-you gift with a story

As a host present or a thank-you, a case of Luberon rosé from a small family estate is more personal than a high-street label — a wine your host probably won’t have tried, from a real estate with a founding story. It travels well, keeps for the season, and gives them something to open when the next warm evening comes round rather than on the spot.

 

For a celebration: JJ Bulle Rosé

If the gathering is a celebration — a birthday, a garden party, a send-off — our sparkling JJ Bulle Rosé makes a lighter, fruit-driven alternative to Champagne. Made from 100% Grenache and exceptionally pale, it is designed as an aperitif fizz for warm-weather toasts and canapés. Pair a case of JJ Bulle Rosé with a case of JJ Rosé to cover both the toast and the table.

 

Why a Domaine des Jeanne summer gift

•     A real family estate in the Luberon. Hand-made on seven hectares in Oppède, in the Luberon, near Châteauneuf-du-Pape — not a supermarket label.

•     A founding story to tell. Created by wine collectors Jeanne and Mervyn Davies with winemaker Alexandre Samour, in pursuit of the rosé they wanted to drink. The ‘JJ’ on the wines comes from the family name behind the estate.

•     Built for summer. Pale, dry and fresh, in the Provençal style — the profile most people picture for warm evenings and grilled food.

•     Delivered to the door. Sent by the case across the UK, ready for the weekend or the gift.

 

Delivery & ordering

•     Sold by: the six-bottle case (one wine per case).

•     UK delivery: £17.50 per case.

•     Timing: order in good time so it arrives before the party or the visit.
