Banyuls Rimage 1989 - Cuvée la Coume - Domaine du Mas Blanc - Parcé et Fils

Presentation of the domain

Domaine du Mas Blanc (Parcé et Fils), a historic landmark in Banyuls, cultivates schist terraces overlooking the Mediterranean. Manual harvests, measured yields, and family expertise result in precise, deep, naturally sweet wines that are faithful to the Catalan landscape.

Presentation of the vintage

Banyuls Rimage “La Coume” 1989: non-oxidative style, mutage sur grain to preserve the fruit, reductive aging (neutral vat/foudre) and early bottling to maintain the brightness. Blend dominated by Grenache Noir (often almost a single varietal), juicy, spicy expression, with a salivating structure.

Presentation of the vintage

1989 in Roussillon: a warm and bright year, with full ripeness, perfect for dense and expressive Rimage wines. In Banyuls, the vintage produces wines with solar black fruit, supported by a beautiful structure and a definite aptitude for aging.
