Ratings: Bettane & Desseauve 17.5/20, RVF 16.5/20, Gault Millau 16/20
“Grapes harvested late, fortified on the vine, and aged in topped-up barrels for 18 to 20 months. A nose of great finesse, with notes of blackberries; the palate is enveloping, with beautiful tannins supporting the wine’s length.” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2012)

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 fruit soups, and in the fall with fresh figs and plum coulis!

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 its renewal. He reduced the vineyard’s size to 34 hectares of this highly fragmented plot structure (50 plots). Sun exposure and altitudes vary. He took on the challenge of organic farming in this arid landscape that lives to the rhythm of the sea breezes. The dry whites and reds are now among the standout wines, with bold and intense expressions. We applaud the exceptional consistency of the range, across all three colors as well as in the VDN, so it logically regains its second star.
