Rating: Gault Millau 16.5/20 (Coup de Coeur)
“Driven by the intensity of fortification, the nose reveals notes of poached black fruits. The palate is rich and powerful, yet displays a rare elegance for a fortified wine.” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - Gault Millau)

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.
