Domaine du Mas Blanc - Banyuls Collita 2004

Banyuls|Red wine
Note: RV F 16/20
The Collita cuvée began as a Rimage, but its unique fermentation process (under the pomace) resulted in a Banyuls with a very distinct character and strong spicy notes. It displays an almost perfect balance and a remarkable interplay of fruit and charm. One of the estate’s newest additions, it is anything but lacking in generosity. A must-try!

C&rsquo;est au d&eacute;part un Rimage, qui par une cuvaison bien sp&eacute;cifique, donne &agrave; ce Banyuls un caract&egrave;re diff&eacute;rent. Plus abordable dans sa d&eacute;marche, il reste dans l&rsquo;esprit des grands Banyuls : &eacute;quilibre presque parfait, d&rsquo;un somptueux tandem&nbsp;fruit &ndash;charme. <br/>

Rated 2** stars (Successful production)

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. As for the Collioures—that is, the dry wines produced in the same geographical area—they have, until now, provided 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.

Rated Estate (2011 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the estate:

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