"A white fragrance crafted from white flowers and notes of the sea!"
Its lovely, intense, and crystal-clear floral nose gives way to a supple and fresh palate at first, becoming rounder and more vinous as it develops, and finishing with a light touch. A wonderful wine!

About the wine:
On the palate, the clay layers hinted at on the label are clearly evident; they lend depth and body to this gourmet white wine, which is better suited to white meats than to fish. It has a lovely, smoky finish that is perfectly mineral. (In Magnum: May 2026)

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, belong in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the wine:
Its older sibling, the 2025—still rough around the edges, like a young grapevine—has yet to come into its own, but what a beauty it promises to be!
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 unknown. Jean-Emmanuel, who joined the family in 2010, embodies the family’s renewal. He reduced the vineyard’s size to 34 hectares of this highly fragmented plot structure (50 parcels). Sun exposure and elevations vary widely. He has taken on the challenge of organic farming in this arid landscape, which is shaped by the rhythms of the sea breezes. Dry whites and reds are now among the estate’s signature wines, offering bold and intense expressions. We commend the exceptional consistency of the lineup across all three wine types, as well as in the VDN category; consequently, it rightfully earns its second star.
