There is a lot going on here in this oxidative style of Banyuls. Dried figs, dates, kirsch and notes of caramel and dark chocolate combine with fine elegance and persistence. Tannins have fully integrated after 5 years in oak foudres and finishes with a fine medicinal finish. (93) - MATT STUBBS MW & TIM ATKIN MW, Languedoc Report.
After selling out of the Coume del Mas Banyuls Tradition, Philippe and Andy road tripped around the region tasting old barrels Banyuls wines and buying their favourites. As a result this cuvée has older material than the Coume del Mas version (which they are in the process of rebuilding). As it is not from estate fruit it has been bottled under the Tramontane label. Non vintage and oxidatively aged in various sized barrels, this is a complex, silky wine of great character. Serve lightly chilled with cheese, fruit and desserts, or add to darker cocktails for depth and complexity.
