Notes: Bettane & Desseauve 16/20, RVF 8/10
One of the greatest Banyuls wines! This "Hors d'âge " cuvée, aged using the "sostréra" method (the Catalan word for "solera"), was first produced by Dr. Parcé in 1925. It is composed of wines from each new vintage, which are added to create a subtle blend within the sostréra aging system. Every three years, a portion is drawn off and bottled. Discover a unique and exceptional Banyuls, powerful and highly complex. A true invitation to a journey... to the palace of wonders!

About the estate:

Dr. Parcé had undeniably left his mark on the estate and the Banyuls appellation as a whole, rooted in its magnificent schist terroirs. The Collioures, that is, the dry wines produced in the same geographical area, had until now given a good indication of this terroir and its potential. The challenge is great for Jean-Michel Parcé, the son, to maintain this high standard of quality.

About the estate:

Le Mas Blanc boasts the largest vineyards in Banyuls. It has been owned by the same family since 1639—the family of Dr. Parcé, a prominent local figure who passed away in 1998 and who was the driving force behind the estate for many years.
