Clos du Moulin comes from a 2-hectare parcel of Mourvèdre on schistose soil in the commune of Banyuls, on the banks of the river "La Baillaury". A wine that offers a superb concentration of ripe fruit, with good volume on the palate, where the maritime influences are present, along with the iodine notes on the finish. A wine with obvious potential that will be a pleasure to rediscover in a decade or so...

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.

About the domain :
