The wine

This cuvée made mainly from Grenache noir is planted on a terroir of brown shale, typical of Banyuls. Fermentation is stopped by the addition of neutral alcohol, then new maceration of 2 to 3 weeks takes place before 12 months' aging in barriques. It is a full-bodied wine which can be kept in the cellar and will resist the test of time. When you decide to open it, you will encounter an aromatic explosion of candied fruit, roasted spices, liquorice and earthy notes...

Information about domain La Rectorie

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.
