Somewhere between a traditional Banyuls and a Rimage, aging plays a key role here. The nose is intense with notes of very ripe fruit; the palate also evokes dried figs, blueberry liqueur, prunes, a hint of cherry brandy, and roasted aromas. It pairs perfectly with blue-veined cheeses, duck breast with figs, and chocolate or jam-based desserts.

About the estate:
Located in the heart of Collioure, on one of the town’s narrowest streets, this winery has been run since 2006 by Laetitia Piétri-Clara, who took over from her mother, Maguy. With the support of oenologist Hélène Grau, the winemaker carries on the tradition established in the late 19th century by her great-grandfather Étienne Géraud, a doctor who returned to the family vineyards. The vineyard covers 20 hectares, primarily in the Banyuls and Collioure appellations.
