Les Clos de Paulilles – Banyuls Grand Cru
The History
Located in the Paulilles Bay between Collioure and Banyuls,
Les Clos de Paulilles is an iconic estate whose wine quality is renowned all over
the world. Banyuls Grand Cru is sourced from brown schist terraced
terroir on 60 year old vines, ands best paired with the entire spectrum of
classic chocolate or red fruit desserts: Opera cake, Mogador macarons, a
revisited black forest gateau. But also, simply Grand Cru cocoa, or a good book, or a cigar, or great company.
