Banyuls 1949 – Cave de l'étoile

This old vintage 1949 Banyuls from Cave de l'étoile, made from the best growths of the Catalan terroir, has aged in old oak barrels.

This old vintage 1949 Banyuls 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 area is 1800 hectares. Between the sea and the mountains, the vines cling to the 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 slopes of the Côte Vermeille, old vines cultivated on terraces overlook the Mediterranean Sea. This is the setting for this exceptional terroir steeped in traditions. Banyuls is exclusively produced in the four communes that join the last Pyrenean foothills 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 direct maritime influence, which naturally leads to low yields.
