James Suckling
"Set off on a journey of discovery, like adventurers"
"A juicy, generous, and succulent white wine with aromas of spiced apples, dried pears, and baking spices. It is medium-bodied, with a concentrated and seductive character. Delicious and lively, with a fresh, juicy, and lemony finish that reveals excellent length on the palate." (James Suckling 2024)

About the estate:
La Préceptorie began as a difficult but successful venture for the Parcé family. Young Joseph, who was at the helm of this 32-hectare estate, handed over the reins at the end of 2016, and Augustin and Vincent are now in charge. Located in the Agly Valley, in Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet, the vineyard is planted both in the Maury area and on the slopes of the surrounding mountains.

About the estate:
A native of Banyuls and therefore a sailor, rooted in the schist soils and vineyards of the Côte Vermeille, Joseph Parcé, son of Marc (La Rectorie), arrived in Maury in 2007 as cellar master at Dom. de la Préceptorie, which had been established in 2001. In 2017, the new generation, with Martin, Augustin, and Vincent, joined Marc and took over the management of the 45-hectare vineyard.
