Terroir of AOC Banyuls

At the eastern end of the Pyrenees, on the steep hillsides of the Côte Vermeille, old vines cultivated in terraces overlook the Mediterranean Sea. This is the setting for this exceptional terroir steeped in tradition. Banyuls is exclusively produced in the four communes that join 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 more than 300 days, frequent and sometimes violent winds, rare rainfall, and direct maritime influence, which naturally leads to low yields.
