Viniou Reviews
The Domaine Mas Blanc 1986 Banyuls Cuvée Rimage Cuvée Spéciale is an exquisite red wine hailing from the picturesque Roussillon region of southern France. This fortified wine is produced primarily from Grenache Noir, a grape variety known for its deep colour and rich flavours. The 1986 vintage has matured into a luscious, opulent wine, offering a bouquet of dried fruit, cocoa, and subtle spices. The specific terroir of Banyuls, characterised by its schist soils and terraced vineyards, imparts a distinct minerality and complexity to the wine, while the Mediterranean climate ensures intense sunshine and moderate rainfall, which are ideal for grape ripening. The unique coastal location also allows for a gentle sea breeze, providing a cooling effect that balances the sweetness and intensity of the wine.
Roussillon, steeped in history, is renowned for its production of fortified wines, with Banyuls being one of its most celebrated appellations. The region's rich viticultural heritage dates back to the thirteenth century, and it continues to produce wines that capture the essence of the landscape.
The robust nature of this Banyuls makes it a perfect accompaniment to rich, flavourful dishes. Consider pairing it with a traditional duck à l'orange, which will complement the wine's sweetness and depth. Alternatively, savour it alongside dark chocolate desserts or a selection of mature cheeses like Roquefort or aged Comté, allowing the wine's complexity to shine through and enhance the dining experience.
For optimal tasting, it is recommended to serve this wine slightly chilled, at a temperature of 14-16°C. This will accentuate the intricate aromas while mellowing out the wine's natural tannins, ensuring a balanced and memorable indulgence. Let the wine breathe before serving to fully appreciate the depth of its 1986 vintage character.
