Banyuls 1968 – Cave de l'étoile

This old vintage 1968 Banyuls from Cave de l'étoile, made from the best growths of the Catalan terroir, has aged in old oak barrels.

This old vintage 1968 Banyuls is offered in a 75 cl bottle.

With its unique expertise in aging Banyuls, its range is incredibly rich.
The vineyard is located at the extreme 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. 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 end of the Pyrenees, on the steep slopes of the Côte Vermeille, the 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 rains, and a direct maritime influence, which naturally leads to low yields.
