Domaine du Mas Blanc (Docteur Parcé)
Collioure Junquets
Collioure, Roussillon, Languedoc Roussillon, France
Holy crap this was incredible. I purchased at the domaine in colliure back in 2011. I remember these wines being good but wow! Super dark mahogany color. Incredible (almost negly port du ciel style) nose of sandalwood, bramble blackberry, coffee, camphor, incense and baking spice. The palate is rich and lush but with minerality that gives this beauty lift and keeps it fresh on the palate and not porty at all. It could easily go another decade (it barely showed any tertiary fruit today). Literally better than any 2007 cdp I’ve tasted recently. I was getting bored with wine lately and this one really got my reinvigorated

May 19th, 2021One of Domaine Mas Blanc’s three single-vineyard wines, Les Junquets comes from a steep west-facing terraced parcel in Collioure – an appellation Mas Blanc’s André Parcé greatly contributed to establish in the 1970s. Blend of 90% Syrah, 5% Marsanne and 5% Rousanne vinified together and aged in old Bordeaux barriques for one year. Complex nose, with aromas of dark fruit (prunes, cassis), coffee and savory, smoky character. On the palate, it is balanced, with flavors of cherries and chocolate. Long finish.
