Domaine Augustin Parcé

The Vineyard

The parcels for this cuvée lie on steep, schist slopes above Collioure, where mechanization is impossible. It brings together a mosaic of plots: some from the estate’s historic old vines, others from plantings made in the 1980s.

Altitudes range from 10 to 350 meters, with a predominant north-eastern exposure that preserves freshness despite the southern location.

The Wine

This Collioure is based mainly on Grenache, complemented by Mourvèdre and Carignan.

Vinification is gentle, focusing on preserving fruit expression and supple tannins. The wine is aged for 18 months, half in barrel and half in tank, striking a balance that maintains freshness while adding depth without excessive oak influence.

Tasting Notes

Although Collioure sits at the very southern tip of France, the influence of the Mediterranean Sea and altitude brings an unexpected freshness, clearly expressed in this cuvée.

It shows a bright cherry-red color. The nose offers kirsch, blackberry, wild herbs, and a subtle toasted note. On the palate, it is supple yet precise, with silky tannins, a lively freshness, and lingering flavors of dark cherry and cocoa.

An elegant and generous wine, it pairs beautifully with red mullet and olives, slow-cooked lamb shoulder, or a simple sauté of mushrooms with thyme.
