The story
Estate associated with Maison Parcé Frères; Augustin Parcé returned to Banyuls in 2014 to establish his own project within the family vineyards, enhancing the area's historic parcels. The estate is presented as the result of work and expertise handed down through the family.
Production philosophy
Careful vineyard work on slate terraces, controlled yields and targeted vinification to respect each plot; in the cellar low-intervention practices are employed to express the terroir.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards on steep terraced slopes of schist soils in the Banyuls/Collioure area along the Costa Vermeille, at the foot of the Pyrenees — a typical Roussillon terroir. The labels are tied to the local appellations.
