Situated in Banyuls in the Roussillon, at less than a kilometer from the sea, La Rectorie (7 hectares) was passed down to the Parcé bothers. Having returned to the family property in the 1980s, Thierry and Marc extended their Banyuls production to that of very high quality dry white wines. Work in the vineyard wears the peasant traces of their great-grandmother, Thérèse's roots (animal draught cultivation, manual harvests, use of local grape varieties, etc.). Nowadays, it is managed by Marc and Thierry Parcé, for whom the age of the vines, the use of the ‘original' grape varieties and the controlled yields (20 to 25hl/hectare) are the key to successful vinifications. The domain bottles around 80,000 bottles every year. Most of the production is centered the vinification of Collioures rouges, but La Rectorie also produces white wines as well some Banyuls (15% of production). The wines are not fined.

The vines used to make this cuvée cling to the slopes leading down to the sea between Collioure and Banyuls. The wine features a pretty salmon pink shade and a nose infused with aromas of raspberry, wild strawberries and redcurrants. The wine is lively on the palate with texture and a persistent finish. This rosé was fermented in barrels and raised on its lees until the Spring after harvest, in order to develop deeper aromas and substance.
