"The expression of terroir
Excellence reflects the full potential of the Aspres terroir so dear to Mas Becha. On the nose, we find the freshness of the mountains through mentholated aromas and fresh herbs, but also the summer sunshine through notes of blackcurrant, blackberry and blueberry. The velvety, rich palate is the result of precision work. Enjoy with eyes closed!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Sélectionné (An estate or house that has won us over with one or more wines from its production, without us being able to give a general opinion on the style of the entire range)
About the domain :
This estate, original in its marketing approach as much as in its wine style, produces cuvées with amusing labels that often linger in the memory. The Perez family travels, thinks and begins to find the way to better recognition of their products. The estate is a good source for powerful, colorful reds, which are sure to fuel debate with their often original and always highly mature profiles.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
South of Perpignan, Charles Perez has been running his own domaine since 2008 in the hamlet of Nyls, in the Aspres region: 25 hectares of organic vineyards planted on three hills within a 110-hectare estate. In reds, his blends emphasize Syrah. Each year, a different artist "sketches" this vineyard figure to illustrate his labels. The same goes for the members of his family. A sort of Catalan Mouton Rothschild!

Wine rated (guide 2023) 93/100
About the wine:
The Côtes Du Roussillon Villages Les Aspres Excellence 2021 is predominantly Syrah (there are small amounts of Grenache and Mourvèdre) and has been aged in tank. This is another juicy wine from Perez, with a deep purple color and bright red and blue fruits supported by notes of pepper, spring flowers, iron and a hint of leather. It opens up nicely with time in the glass, is medium to full-bodied, with great purity and firmer tannins. Give it a year or two and enjoy it until around 2030.
