About the estate:
Having returned to the family estate in 1984, the Parcé brothers first made a name for themselves by producing 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 in 2010, embodies the family’s renewal. He reduced the vineyard’s size to 34 hectares of this highly fragmented plot structure (50 parcels). Sun exposure and elevations 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 the VDN—and thus it logically regains its second star.
