Freshness and minerality define this ultra aromatic cuvée... Palate: surprising and eminently agreeable, with excellent balance. A long, beautiful finish.
Laurence Manya-Krief
Laurence Manya-Krief is sincere, upright, and determined... Formerly a sales director in ready-to-wear fashion, at 35 years old she dropped her career for a life of vines. Today, our taste buds are thrilled that she did! She may be petite, but she cultivates some of the most difficult plots in France. Her steep slopes are completely incompatible with mechanised farming, so she depends instead on horse and mule power to work her7 hectares of black schist soils, planted with century-old Grenache and Carignan vines. The estate has been certified organic since 2008, and Laurence eschews chemical fertilisers in favour of composts of fruit pulp, feather meal and crab shells! Harvest time here is always a lively, joyous event, with grapes collected at extremely low yields of 10-20 hl/ha, but never overripe. Vinifying whole cluster, Domaine Yoyo is focused on producing juice that’s easy-drinking and of moderate strength – the result are the most chic and thirst-quenching wines of Banyuls!
A powerful cuvée, driven by its fruit aromas, with notes of black cherries... Palate: a potent juice which nonetheless remains smooth and extremely drinkable.
A powerful cuvée from the region of Banyuls... A big wine, extremely fruity and easy to drink.
Nose carried by red fruits: cherry, raspberry, redcurrant... Lots of freshness for this luscious palate, a supple and highly digestible juice, congrats Yoyo!
So much pleasure vintage after vintage for this juice that screams both summer and freshness. Notes of apricot, citrus fruits, honey, a hint of iodine... The palate is round, generous, perfectly balanced by the mineral tension, and the tangy finish. Bravo Yoyo!
With notes of pomegranate, watermelon, morello cherry, crushed strawberry... Concentrated on the palate, the Southern and powerful profile of this juice is counterbalanced by the fluidity and the fruit of the wine, once again it's a great success by Laurence!
An exotic nose with fresh plum and cherry stone notes, floral touch… Suave palate, fluid texture, one glass calls for another… "A profound friendship wine with great aging potential," says Yoyo.
A very beautiful nose that burst of flower notes, that gradually reveals notes of stewed red fruits, plum... The palate is juicy, digestible, with a fine acidity, perfect red wine for Mediterranean cuisine on sunny days. Long finish with a touch of soft spices.
You know we love La Negra, and vintage after vintage, the bottle hase the same clear intentions: to give us maximum pleasure. It simply breathes its creator’s mastery, competence… and love. Fruity, floral, a well-balanced, fresh and elegant wine.
Nose carried by notes of crushed fruit, strawberry, cherry, blackberry, sweet spices, pepper, just a hint of black olive... A juicy wine, lots of finesse, very beautiful balance.
