Score 92/100 · Robert Parker, Feb 1999
Michel Chapoutier has turned in some spectacular performances with limited production (around 4,000 500 ml bottles) Banyuls. This is a rich, chocolatey wine that smells like cappuccino infused with cherry liqueur. Rich and pure, but not the least bit heavy, it is good to see another top quality producer emerge from Banyuls, one of the most spectacular appellations in southern France. Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-8900
