Note: RVF 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 releases, it is certainly generous. A must-try!

C’est au départ un Rimage, qui par une cuvaison bien spécifique, donne à ce Banyuls un caractère différent. Plus abordable dans sa démarche, il reste dans l’esprit des grands Banyuls : équilibre presque parfait, d’un somptueux tandem fruit –charme. <br/>
Food and wine pairings
Enjoy it with sweet-and-sour or glazed pork, in devil's sauce, or with a trio of chocolate, sour cherries, and vanilla...

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.

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.
