Facing due south on steep terraces, the Syrah plots that make up 90% of this Collioure are trained on stakes, reminiscent of the vineyards of Côte Rôtie. With its incredibly low yields (15 hl/ha), it reigns supreme in its kingdom and makes no secret of it. Its beautiful ripeness and aromas promise a delight where the terroir takes center stage. A rare gem to be enjoyed over the next six to eight years!

About the estate:
Dr. Parcé had undeniably left his mark on the estate and the Banyuls appellation as a whole, rooted in its magnificent schist terroirs. The Collioures, that is, the dry wines produced in the same geographical area, had until now given 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.

Rated estate (2011 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 estate:
Le Mas Blanc boasts the largest vineyards in Banyuls. It has been owned by the same family since 1639—the family of Dr. Parcé, a prominent local figure who passed away in 1998 and who was the driving force behind the estate for many years.
