Its tile-red color heralds a wine with white-fruit aromas and a beautiful, concentrated, pleasant, well-balanced fruitiness on the palate that augurs first-rate aging. A must-have from the estate, a true ambassador and master of Banyuls...

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.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
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.
