Banyuls 1954 – Cave de l'étoile

This old vintage Banyuls 1954 from Cave de l'étoile, made from the best crus of the Catalan terroir, has aged in old oak barrels.

This vintage Banyuls 1954 is offered in a 75 cl bottle.

With its unique expertise in aging Banyuls, its range is exceptionally 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 the sea and the mountains that the vines cling to the steep slopes on a schist soil. They are exclusively worked by hand.

Terroir of AOC Banyuls

At the eastern tip of the Pyrenees, on the steep slopes 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, over 300 days of sunshine per year, frequent and sometimes violent winds, rare rainfall, and a direct maritime influence, which naturally leads to low yields.
