Banyuls is a French appellation d'origine contrôlée for sweet, fortified wine cultivated from terraces on the slopes of the Catalan Pyrenees in the Roussillon county of France. It draws inspiration from the oxidative Spanish winemaking styles of Jerez and Emporda, using fortification to halt fermentation and slowly aging the wine until a decidedly honeyed, nutty profile emerges.

The end product is defined by both its concentrated richness and by the cutting smoke and brine given by its close proximity to the ocean. An elegant finish to any meal and a worthy addition to the bar.

About Domaine du Mas Blanc

Domaine du Mas Blanc and the family of “Docteur Parcé” have been the driving force behind the Banyuls and Collioure appellations for three generations. The domaine's roots can be traced to 1632, but its modern history dates to 1921, when Dr. Gaston Parcé began bottling his wine and became the leading proponent of the Banyuls appellation, established in 1936. He was succeeded by his son, Dr. André Parcé, who in turn was the visionary behind the Collioure appellation, established in 1971. André's friendships with the families of Beaucastel, Chave and Tempier led to cuttings from those estates finding home in Domaine du Mas Blanc's terraced vineyards overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Since 1976, the domaine has been led by André's son, winemaker Jean-Michel Parcé, who continues to further his family’s commitment to tradition and reputation for leadership in the appellations.
