Overview

M. Chapoutier Banyuls is a "vin doux naturel" fortified wine that is exceptional and age-worthy. It is naturally sweet, shows full fruit and wonderful character and is universally perfect with fruit and/or chocolate desserts. Rich layers of dried plum, baking spices and dark chocolate.

Aging

Aged in oak casks and steel vats from 18 to 36 months depending on the vintage.

Fermentation

Grapes are hand-picked when very ripe. They are destemmed and crushed. A long fermentation is halted with the addition of pure alcohol, retaining natural sugars and ensuring a good extraction of aroma, flavor and tannin.
