The Banyuls falls under the category of vins doux naturel. It is the deepest and darkest of VDNs and has a chocolate flavor that characterizes it and allows France to approach some ports. In fact, after 15 to 20 years, it gets notes of plum and roasted coffee very similar to those of Porto Vintage. The vineyards are not far from the nearby Spain and come where men and mules are struggling to maintain balance: mechanization is out of the question, yields are extremely low and the grapes are very mature. On the labels you often read the word rimage that refers to the vintage. The main vine is the grenache.
