A prestigious collection of 3 bottles from one of the great historic vintages of AOP Banyuls Grand Cru Offered here is an exceptional lot comprising 3 bottles of Banyuls Grand Cru 1988 (50 cl), each presented in its original Vintage Collection gift case. Originating from the renowned "Cave de l'Etoile", in the heart of Roussillon, these rare wines embody the heritage and savoir-faire of a region celebrated for producing some of France's most distinguished Vin Doux Naturels. More than three decades after harvest, this remarkable 1988 vintage has reached a superb stage of maturity, revealing the complexity, balance and elegance that only time can bestow. A Wine Shaped by an Exceptional Terroir Crafted primarily from Grenache grapes grown on the famous schist soils overlooking the Mediterranean, this Banyuls Grand Cru was born from a unique landscape where steep terraces and ancestral viticultural traditions create wines of extraordinary character. The prolonged ageing has transformed the wine into a refined masterpiece, displaying a deep mahogany robe and a rich aromatic tapestry of: Candied orange peel Dried figs and raisins Oriental spices Roasted nuts Cocoa and dark chocolate Caramel and noble rancio notes The palate is remarkably silky and layered, combining richness, freshness and outstanding persistence. Each glass unveils new nuances, offering an exceptional tasting experience for lovers of mature fortified wines.
