Guard
Ce vin dense et plein, étonnant par sa fraîcheur, et la subtilité de ses arômes : dans sa phase primaire, on décèle parfums de fruits blancs, tout ceci assemblé, pour répandre en senteurs, une combinaison spéciale, de collines et de fleurs, qui chute dans les bois. En rétro-olfaction , c’est un voyage en forêt , parterre jonché de baies, ou cassis et myrtille , sonnent au cœur du randonneur.<br/> Pour l’inconditionnel amateur de Vintage, il sera prêt bien avant un Porto, mais pour une occasion, on le conservera en cave. <br/>

About the estate:
Dr. Parcé had undeniably left his mark on the estate and the Banyuls appellation as a whole, which is rooted in its magnificent schist terroirs. As for the Collioures—that is, the dry wines produced in the same geographical area—they have so far 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.
