A superb fall wine, at its absolute peak!
90/100 Robert ParkerBoth full-bodied and powerful, Cosprons Levants comes from the town of Port-Vendres, where the vineyards from which it is sourced border the hamlet of Cosprons. Located about 900 meters (as the crow flies) from the sea, they benefit from the maritime influence thanks to the sea breezes. This 1997 is now at its absolute peak. A flavorful, mature wine with notes of smoke, macerated fruit, and spices, it pairs perfectly with autumn dishes served in sauce, such as marinated meats or game. Excellent value for the price!

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.
