Food and wine pairings
The pairing with chocolate is a classic, as the tannins in cocoa and Grenache are surprisingly similar! Other pairings are possible, particularly with gorgonzola, in spring with red fruit soups, and in fall with fresh figs and plum coulis!

About wine:
Amber-colored and candied, this sapid wine evokes a sweetness.
About the estate:
Returning to the family estate in 1984, the Parcé brothers first made their mark by producing fortified Banyuls wines from vintage grapes (ready to drink young), to which they brought a previously unknown precision of flavor and aromatic intensity. Jean-Emmanuel, who arrived in 2010, embodies the family's renewal. He has reduced the size of the vineyard to 34 hectares of this highly fragmented plot (50 parcels). The vineyard enjoys varied sun exposure and altitudes. He has taken on the challenge of organic farming in this arid landscape, which lives to the rhythm of the sea. The dry whites and reds are now among the benchmarks, with frank and intense expressions. We salute the exceptional consistency of the range, in all three colors, as in VDN, and it is therefore logical that it should regain its second star.

Beautiful orange-pink color. Stunning nose of candied fruit, wonderfully smooth and endlessly long on the palate...
