Domaine La Tour Vieille
The estate The Old Tower In the heart of the Roussillon region, where vines meet the sea, Vincent Cantié from Collioure, who founded the estate in 1982, and Christine Campadieu from Banyuls have joined forces to perpetuate the region's winemaking tradition. The vineyards of The Old Tower extends over a total of 13 hectares of vines with an average age of 40 years, set in majestic surroundings at altitudes of up to 220 meters above sea level.
Grenache is king on the Côte Vermeille, the only grape variety authorized to produce Banyuls wines, while in Collioure other grape varieties enrich the aromatic palette of the wines: Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan, Maccabeu, Roussanne. 

On a predominantly schistose terroir, the vines are planted on terraces, particularly in Banyuls, and are worked exclusively by hand. The vines are cultivated using sustainable methods, inspired by organic criteria and respecting the environment. 
Domaine La Tour Vieille produces white, red and rosé Collioure wines and two white and red Banyuls. The range is serious, of unquestionable quality, and takes us to its vineyards with emotion and admiration. A fine ambassador for Roussillon wines.

La Pinède is a cuvée built predominantly on Grenache (65%), which gives it deliciousness, roundness and generosity. Mourvèdre adds structure, but this remains supple, with silky tannins. A cuvée that can be enjoyed young, with concentrated bright fruit and a hint of menthol to add complexity and length on the palate. A wine to discover!

"More maritime and charming with its light rancio, Reserva is fine, gourmand with a cocoa-flavored palate supported by fine spices." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2022 - RVF). Partly aged in the sun, this is a beautifully crafted bottle with perfect balance!

"This pleasant evocation of red fruit coulis, with a touch of blackberry, is carried by a lively, fine structure. A Banyuls with delicate fruitiness and discreet alcohol." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2019 - RVF) This 100% Grenache Noir, aged 15 months in oak barrels, will be the finishing touch to a fine meal, accompanying fresh ewe's milk and blue cheeses, or a chocolate dessert. A Roussillon delight!

14/20 RVF

"Golden, round, easy, beautiful fullness of flesh." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2019 - RVF) With a majority of Grenache Gris and Blanc complemented by Macabeu and Roussane, this Roussillon wine is endowed with beautiful depth, thanks to a slender tannic structure, notes of white-fleshed fruit and a hint of petrol. A perfect mealtime wine for Mediterranean summer dishes, such as grilled calamari.
