"A must for aperitifs and a perfect partner for desserts!
"The sun shines brightly on this luminous, golden-yellow Muscat. Fresh on the nose, with hints of menthol and spice (ginger), the palate is full-bodied, greedy, mellow and fruity (white-fleshed fruit, yellow peach), with a long finish of candied fruit. Perfect with a Roussillon red apricot tart". (Le Guide Hachette 2024)

About the wine:
The sun shines brightly on this luminous, golden-yellow Muscat. Fresh on the nose, with hints of menthol and spice (ginger), the palate is full-bodied, greedy, mellow and fruity (white-fleshed fruit, yellow peach), with a long, candied-fruit finish. Perfect with a Roussillon red apricot tart.
About the domain :
Established in the heart of Collioure, in one of the town's smallest streets, this estate has been run since 2006 by Laetitia Piétri-Clara, who took over from her mother Maguy. Supported by oenologist Hélène Grau, the winemaker continues the tradition begun in the late 19th century by her great-grandfather Étienne Géraud, a doctor who returned to the family vineyards. The vineyard covers 20 ha, mainly in the Banyuls and Collioure appellations.
