Halfway between a traditional Banyuls and a rimage, ageing plays an essential role here. The nose is intense with very cooked fruit, while the palate is also reminiscent of dried fig, blueberry liqueur, prune, a hint of cherry in alcohol and roasted aromas. A perfect match for blue-veined cheeses, duck breast with figs and desserts with chocolate or jam.

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2024) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Established in the heart of Collioure, in one of the town's smallest streets, this estate has been run since 2006 by Laetitia Piétri-Clara, who took over from her mother Maguy. Supported by oenologist Hélène Grau, the winemaker continues the tradition begun in the late 19th century by her great-grandfather Étienne Géraud, a doctor who returned to the family vineyards. The vineyard covers 20 ha, mainly in the Banyuls and Collioure appellations.
