Food and Wine Pairings
Pairing this wine with chocolate is a classic combination—it’s worth noting that the tannins in cocoa and those in Grenache share some surprising similarities! Other pairings are also possible, particularly with Gorgonzola, in the spring with red berry soups, and in the fall with a fresh fig served with plum coulis!

About the wine:
Amber-colored and rich, this full-flavored wine evokes a sweet, mellow character.
About the estate:
Having returned to the family estate in 1984, the Parcé brothers first made a name for themselves by crafting vintage-style fortified Banyuls (vintage wines, meant to be enjoyed young), to which they brought a precision of flavor and an aromatic intensity previously unseen. Jean-Emmanuel, who joined the family business in 2010, embodies its renewal. He reduced the vineyard’s size to 34 hectares of this highly fragmented plot structure (50 parcels). Sun exposure and altitudes vary widely. He took on the challenge of organic farming in this arid landscape, which is shaped by the rhythms of the sea breezes. Dry whites and reds are now among the estate’s signature wines, offering bold and intense expressions. We commend the exceptional consistency of the lineup across all three wine types, as well as in the VDN category; it therefore logically earns its second star.

A beautiful orange-pink color. An amazing nose of candied fruit, wonderful smoothness, and an endless finish on the palate...
