Domaine Vial Magnères
Domaine Vial Magnères works the sun-soaked terroirs of Languedoc-Roussillon, where Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan thrive in the Mediterranean climate. The winery's portfolio centers on the appellations of Banyuls and Collioure, regions known for their steep, schist-laden vineyards and wines of depth and structure. Al Tragou Rancio Très Vieux Banyuls, a Grenache-based fortified wine, demonstrates the winery's command of oxidative aging and complexity. The dry reds—Les Espérades Collioure Rouge, a Syrah-Grenache blend, and Petit Couscouril Collioure Rosé, which adds Carignan to the mix—show the range of these southern French varieties across color and style. Wine Advocate has rated the winery's releases, affirming their technical execution and regional character.
