Notes : Bettane & Desseauve 16/20, RVF 8/10
One of the greatest Banyuls! This Hors d'âge cuvée aged in sostréra (the Catalan word for Soléra) was created by Doctor Parcé in 1925. It is made from the wines of each new vintage, which are then added to create a subtle blend within the sostréra aging system. Every three years, a portion is removed and bottled. Discover a unique and exceptional Banyuls, powerful and highly complex. A true invitation to travel... to the palate of wonders!

Expert opinion
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Domaine rated 2**Stars (Successful production)
About the domain :
Dr. Parcé had unquestionably left his mark on the estate and on the Banyuls appellation as a whole, based on its magnificent schist terroirs. The collioures, i.e. the dry wines produced in the same geographical area, have until now given a good idea of this terroir and its potential. The challenge for Jean-Michel Parcé, the son, is to maintain this high level of quality.

Domaine noté (guide 2011) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
Mas Blanc boasts some of the finest terroirs in Banyuls. It has belonged to the same family since 1639, that of Doctor Parcé, a great local figure who died in 1998, and who animated the place for a long time.
