The Banyuls Grand Cru comes from a very strict selection of grapes and from the best parcels of its soil (minimum of 75% of black Grenache). They are made only during the best vintages. Their vinification can define soft, semi-soft, semi-dry or dry types. They are vinified in very old casks or barrels for a period of 7 to 10 years. Some Banyuls Grand Cru ripen 2 to 4 years in 300-liter barrels exposed to the blazing sun in the summer and to the cold in the winter. It is the alchemy of the farm which defines the specific character of each of these great wines.
Tasting Note: 
Vinified as a dry wine, this Banyuls Grand Cru has inherited a brut and wild character from its long fermentation, although its rustic personality reveals discreet peppered and woody notes that ennoble it, just like the golden notes that adorn its burnt topaz color.
