A speciality of the estate since 1986, the date of the first vintages produced by Bernard Sapéras, this Banyuls was then described by its creator as a "visiting card", as it was he who invented it in this colour. It is made from a mutage on must, unlike the reds mutaged on grain. The 2018 more than delighted us with its fine, sparkling fruit, drawing on citrus and orange blossom. A delight!
