Producer The Cave of Abbé Rous
Located in Banyuls-sur-Mer, the Cave de l'Abbé Rous produces and sells a good range of AOC Collioure and Banyuls wines.
Its name was chosen in homage to the Abbot who at the end of the XNUMXth century, established himself as the first wine merchant of Banyuls to finance the construction of a church for the village.
She relies on 750 winemakers and their 1150 hectares of vines among which she makes selections to develop its vats.
Quality is his requirement, and that for all stages of wine making; from the management of the vineyard to the vinification; and from breeding to presentation.
With its unique know-how in the breeding of Banyuls and Banyuls Grand Cru, its range is extremely rich.
The Cave of Abbé Rous has chosen an exclusive distribution in the traditional network of wine merchants and restaurateurs.
The mid-altitude vineyard is located in the northeast of the Pyrénées-Orientales department, on the left bank of the Agly valley near the small village of Baixas.
