Banyuls 1948 – Cave de l'étoile

This old 1948 vintage Banyuls from Cave de l'étoile, made from the best crus of the Catalan terroir, has aged in old oak barrels.

This old vintage Banyuls 1948 is offered in 75 cl bottles.

With unique expertise in aging Banyuls, its range is incredibly rich.
The vineyard is located in the far 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 surface area is 1800 hectares. It is between sea and mountain that the vines cling to steep slopes on a schist soil. They are exclusively worked by hand.

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 traditions. 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 more than 300 days, frequent sometimes violent winds, rare rainfall, and a direct maritime influence, which naturally leads to low yields.
