"The wood is still prominent, but that doesn't matter, the wine has a mass capable of digesting it. In the meantime, we enjoy the slightly licorice sweetness on notes of cinnamon, cardamom and black figs. Structured without being heady, the wine finishes on a perfect touch of mint." (Le Guide RVF 2025)

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated wine (guide 2025 ) 93/100

About the wine:
The wood is still prominent, but that doesn't matter, the wine has a mass capable of digesting it, and while waiting we enjoy the slightly licorice sweetness on notes of cinnamon, cardamom and black figs, structured without being heady, the wine finishes on a perfect touch of mint.
About the domain :
Back on the family land since 1984, the Parcé brothers first made a name for themselves producing vintage-style mutés sur grains banyuls (vintage, ready-to-drink young), to which they brought a previously unknown precision of flavor and aromatic intensity. Jean-Emmanuel embodies the family's renewal, arriving in 2010. He has reduced the size of the vineyard to 34 hectares of this highly fragmented plot (50 parcels). Sun exposure and altitude vary. He has taken up the challenge of organic farming in this arid landscape, which lives to the rhythm of the sea. The dry reds and whites have become benchmarks, with frank, intense expression. We salute the exceptional consistency of the range, in all three colors, as well as in the VDN, and it's only logical that it should earn back its second star.
