“This delightful hint of red fruit coulis, with a touch of blackberry, is supported by a lively, refined structure. A Banyuls with delicate fruitiness and subtle alcohol.” (The Guide to the Best Wines of France 2019 - RVF) This 100% Grenache Noir, aged for 15 months in oak casks, will be the perfect finishing touch to a fine meal, pairing beautifully with fresh sheep’s milk cheeses, blue cheeses, or a chocolate dessert. A true treat from Roussillon!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Divided into a dozen plots covering an equal number of hectares, this estate’s spectacular vineyard is primarily planted on steep clay and schist slopes overlooking the Mediterranean. It is an estate with a long tradition, but one that seems to have lost its momentum in recent vintages.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
Founded in 1982, this 13-hectare estate brings together the vineyards of Vincent Cantié (in Collioure) and Christine Campadieu (in Banyuls), both of whom come from long-established winemaking families. The estate overlooks the sea from the hills above Collioure. It produces consistently high-quality wines, both natural sweet wines and dry wines.

Rated wine (2019 guide) 15.5/20 + Favorite (Good wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the wine:
This delightful hint of red fruit coulis, with a touch of blackberry, is supported by a lively, refined structure. A Banyuls with delicate fruitiness and subtle alcohol.
About the estate:
Vincent Cantié is fully committed to the demanding art of winemaking on the Côte Vermeille. He strives to capture, in both dry and fortified wines, the character of the grapes—primarily Black Grenache—grown on clay and schist soils. The dry wines are now remarkably consistent, and the Banyuls are always excellent.
