Banyuls 1946 – Cave de l'étoile

This old vintage Banyuls 1946 from Cave de l'étoile, made from the best crus of the Catalan terroir, has aged in old oak barrels.

This old vintage Banyuls 1946 is offered in 75 cl bottles.

With a unique expertise in aging Banyuls, its range is very rich.
The vineyard is located at the extreme south of France, where the Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean. It is delimited by the 4 ports of Collioure, Port-Vendres, Banyuls-sur-Mer, and Cerbère. Its area is 1800 hectares. It is between sea and mountains that the vines cling to the steep slopes on a schist soil. They are exclusively hand-worked.

Terroir of AOC Banyuls

At the eastern end of the Pyrenees, on the steep hillsides of the Côte Vermeille, old vines cultivated on terraces overlook the Mediterranean Sea. This is the setting of this exceptional terroir steeped in tradition. Banyuls is exclusively produced in the four communes that connect the last Pyrenean reliefs to the sea: Collioure, Port-Vendres, Banyuls-sur-Mer, and the border village of Cerbères.

The region benefits from an exceptional microclimate, annual sunshine of over 300 days, frequent sometimes violent winds, rare rainfall, and a direct maritime influence, which naturally leads to low yields.
