Facing due south on steep terraces, the Syrah plots that make up this 90% Collioure are trained on stakes, reminiscent of Côte Rôtie vineyards. With its incredibly low yields (15 hl/ha), this wine is Lord in his own kingdom, and he's proud of it. Its beautiful ripeness and aromas lead to a pleasure where terroir expresses itself above all else. A confidential wine to be drunk over the next six to eight years!

a fleshy, powerful wine, where the terroir expresses itself before the grape variety, the tannin is very present to remind us of the important ageing potential of this wine.

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.
