Domaine de la Rectorie

In order to keep a certain freshness and finesse in their wines, they have gradually chosen to favor terroirs sheltered from excess heat, and whose nature of the soil, allowing deep rooting, leaves the vines have the means to resist as best as possible the years of drought. Historically, the grapes from old plots were all collected at the same time to vinify Banyuls. In 1977, very ripe grapes were still picked in October which had to be pressed quickly, were transferred after a few days of fermentation and then underwent a long aging in barrels which left the wine in contact with the air, hence the expression of oxidative breeding. In 1993 Thierry & Marc decided to vinify a dry white on these plots by picking around mid-August the well-balanced gray and white Grenaches. The unpicked carignan and grenache were harvested one to two weeks later to produce either red Collioure or Banyuls. They still practice the same way today and the creation of a Collioure Blanc appellation in 2002 seems to confirm the value of this approach. The grapes are pressed directly without destemming. After a night of cold settling, the juice ferments in barrels. Every day during fermentation the barrels will be stirred, there after until December this stirring will be carried out once a week. The setting will be made in the spring. The freshness of this wine has surprised a lot and continues to surprise. What parameters on this terroir allow us to have this "minerality" which surprises both in white and red. Mountain vineyard, poor schist soils, climate moderated by the nearby sea, dominant Grenache behaving here very differently from clay-limestone areas, all these elements of terroir seem to combine to bring freshness accompanied by a slight bitterness in wines.
