Its brick-red color hints at a wine with aromas of white fruit and a beautifully fruity palate—concentrated, pleasant, and well-balanced—that promises exceptional aging potential. A must-try from the estate, a true ambassador and master of Banyuls...

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.
