Cuvee Prestige President Henry Vidal - Banyuls Grand Cru.



Président Henry Vidal

Vinified as a sweet vin doux, Cuvée Président Henri Vidal is the emblematic cuvee of the Cellier des Templiers. It fully embodies all the characteristics of very great Banyuls wine. Bright in colour, with aromatic intensity, complexity and finesse in the nose, it is remarkably balanced in the mouth, blending smoothness and liveliness, topped off with a particularly long finish. This cuvee will take you on a journey to the Orient, with aromas of citrus and sweet spices and just a touch of coffee.

Alcohol Percentage : 18.5% Vol.

Bottle Size : 75cl

Price : 25-30 GBP

Where to buy : www.banuyls.com

Personal Opinion : This wine is known to be the only wine to drink with chocolates. The combination is incredible. This particular Banyuls Grand Cru is by far the best in its range. Anyone who likes a good port will find that once you've tasted a Vin Doux Naturel, you will never drink Port again. This particular wine also exists in medium and in dry.

Personal Points : 9/10
