“Amber-colored and rich, this full-bodied wine evokes a sweet, luscious flavor.” (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2020 – RVF) A superb Banyuls that showcases the full potential of its terroir with notes of candied fruit, cocoa, and mild spices. A true treat!

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 surprising similarities! Other pairings are also possible, particularly with Gorgonzola, in the spring with red fruit soups, and in the fall with fresh figs and plum coulis!

About wine:
Amber-colored and rich, this full-bodied wine has a sweet, mellow flavor.
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.

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