Rich and decadent, this Banyuls from Domaine du Mas Blanc is blended from the best barrels in only the best vintages, so it isn't produced every year. Its sweet depths are balanced by playful acidity, making this dessert wine perfect as dessert itself or paired with aged hard cheeses.

The "White Farmhouse" is in Banyuls-sur- Mer and is the domaine of the Parce family, who have been crafting excellent dry and sweet wines in the region for decades, working with varieties like Syrah, Counoise, Grenache Noir and Blanc, and Mourvedre.

The wine region of Languedoc is quite vast, encompassing much of the Mediterranean coastline of France, as well as reaching quite far inward. To the east, it abuts the southern Rhone and Provence regions, and the wines reflect that in their structured blends. To the west, the region divides further, with Bordeaux-influenced wines to the north, and Catalunian-influences to the south. This diversity (and relative cheapness of land) lends itself to a wine culture that is very playful. Lots of producers from other regions buy property here to experiment. In addition, there is an abundance of good, inexpensive wine that makes it to US shores from Languedoc, most with very "cheeky" names.
