"Banyuls is an insider's wine. The production is tiny, and much of it is purchased and consumed at France's top restaurants. It is France's answer to vintage port and/or late harvest, medium sweet California Zinfandel. Made from Grenache, Dr. Parce produces numerous cuvees, all of which offer staggering drinking. The 1994 Banyuls Rimage displays an over-ripe, raisiny, jammy black-cherry nose, some pepper, wonderful thickness, an unctuous texture, and a medium dry (slightly sweet) finish with considerable alcohol and glycerin."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
A warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
