Every year, Philippe places one, two, or three barrels of the more powerful Banyuls wines in the winery’s attic for oxidative ageing. Generally 300-litre barrels, they are never topped up, allowing natural evaporation to concentrate the wine’s character. Each year, the wines are tasted to see whether they’ve reached a point of exceptional expression. The “Hors d’Âge” designation is used when the wine is a blend of several vintages; if it comes from a single year, it is released as “Grand Cru” with the vintage stated on the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eThis particular bottling comes from one barrel of 2009 and one barrel of 2011.

This is an outstanding, hugely complex wine with layers of liquorice, cinnamon, clove, dates and dried figs. Huge concentration yet supreme balance with melted tannins and a very long, walnut and caramel finish. 13 years in barrel with no topping up has produced this extraordinary wine.” \u003c\/em\u003e96 points\u003cem\u003e - \u003c\/em\u003eMatt Stubbs MW \u0026amp; Tim Atkin MW, Languedoc Report.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Carta Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47437831471259,"sku":"NVCOUCRU","price":280.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0349\/4871\/0536\/files\/NV-Coume-del-Mas-Banyuls-Grand-Cru-AOP-Rouge-_Hors-dAge.jpg?v=1762491097"},{"product_id":"coume-del-mas-galateo-banyuls-rouge-2024","title":"Coume del Mas Banyuls AOP Rouge 'Galateo' 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003e‘Galateo’ is 100% old vine Grenache Noir fortified on skins – a key procedure that helps extraction of colour, tannin and prevents oxidation.
