92/100
James Suckling
“Set out on a journey of discovery, just 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 alluring 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 challenging yet triumphant venture by the Parcé family. Young Joseph, who had been at the helm of this 32-hectare estate, stepped down at the end of 2016, and Augustin and Vincent now run the operation. Located in the Agly Valley, in Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet, the vineyard spans both the Maury region and the slopes of the surrounding mountains.

About the estate:
A native of Banyuls and thus a man of the sea, 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 founded in 2001. In 2017, the new generation—Martin, Augustin, and Vincent—joined Marc and took over the management of the 45-hectare vineyard.
