Rating: Robert Parker 93-94/100
Le Clos du Moulin comes from a 2-hectare plot of Mourvèdre planted on schist soils, located in the town of Banyuls, on the banks of the Baillaury River. Just released, this 2007 vintage offers superb concentration of ripe fruit with lovely volume on the palate, where maritime influences are evident in the subtle iodine notes perceived on the finish. A wine with obvious potential that will be a pleasure to rediscover in about ten years...

Une cuvée parfaite sur les gibiers et plus généralement sur les plats d'automne (viandes en sauce...)<br/>

About the estate:
Dr. Parcé had undeniably left his mark on the estate and the Banyuls appellation as a whole, which is rooted in its magnificent schist terroirs. As for the Collioures—that is, the dry wines produced in the same geographical area—they have so far provided a good indication of this terroir and its potential. The challenge is great for Jean-Michel Parcé, the son, to maintain this high standard of quality.

About the estate:
Le Mas Blanc boasts the largest vineyards in Banyuls. It has been owned by the same family since 1639—the Parcé family, led by Dr. Parcé, a prominent local figure who passed away in 1998 and who played a leading role in the estate for many years.
