Description

Wine Advocate Review
Rated 92
In addition to the dry reds, Chapoutier also produces a rock solid Banyuls. The 2012 is no exception and offers loads of mulled red and black fruits, sweet licorice and spice in its voluptuous, sweet and rounded profile. It can be enjoyed anytime over the coming decade or more.

M. Chapoutier Banyuls 2012 500ml (France)

A richly concentrated, age-worthy fortified Grenache from the steep schist terraces of Banyuls, crafted by M. Chapoutier with hallmark detail and purity.
The 2012 vintage delivers deep, sun-soaked fruit, natural sweetness, and savory Mediterranean complexity—an exceptional expression of this historic Roussillon appellation.
