Banyuls 1956 – Cave de l'étoile

This old 1956 vintage Banyuls from Cave de l'étoile, made from the best crus of the Catalan terroir, has aged in old oak barrels.

This old 1956 vintage Banyuls is offered in 75 cl bottles.

With unique expertise in aging Banyuls, its range is incredibly 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, the old terraced vines overlook the Mediterranean Sea. This is the setting for this exceptional terroir steeped in tradition. Banyuls is exclusively produced in the four communes that bind 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, sometimes violent wind, rare rainfall, and direct maritime influence, which naturally leads to low yields.
