Banyuls 1978 – Cave de l'étoile

This old 1978 vintage Banyuls from Cave de l'étoile, made from the best growths of the Catalan terroir, has aged in old oak barrels. This old 1978 vintage Banyuls is offered in 75 cl bottles.

With unique expertise in aging Banyuls, its range is exceptionally rich. The vineyard is located at the southern tip 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 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 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 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, with 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.
