The winegrowers of this area where the soil is inferitle and arid work by hand the vines of the grenache grape. Under the hot sun the dry northerly wind of this region the grapes are picked at full maturity to make superb rich and powerful banyuls wines. The local cuisine holds an amazing wealth of tastes, every dish if ull of color and aromas. One of the secrets behind this cuisine is Banyuls Wine Vinegar.
Banyuls wine vinegar of the Cave de l'abbe rous gets its aromatic complexity from an outstanding fortified wine naturally rich in sugar. The wine is stored in 650 liter casks for 4 years where it is exposed to the wind and weather. The conditons allow the wine to age prematurely and develop exceptional aromatic complexity, the same qulaities are reflected in the vinegar. This Banyuls vinegar is a burned topaz in color with tints of gold. Woody and spicy on the nose, while the taste of fresh walnuts and menthol runs deep on the palate.
To preserve this complexity in aroma and taste in the next step of aging, the vinegar is transferred to 220 liter casks for 12 months. By the end of the process a full 5 years will have passed. The vinegar when aged to its full potential offers a combination of fresh walnuts, spice bread, beeswax, vanilla and liquorice notes. This complex taste will add character to any dish with just a touch. Imported From France 750 ml | | | Features: | |

Hands down the best vinegar I've EVER tasted. Subtle, nuanced, and compatible with everything. I use it with good quality olive oil (3 1/2 to 1) with kosher salt and white pepper.

A good source for a great productJan 11, 2009

This is one of the best red wine vinegars available for those who want something besides the overdone balsamic vinegar. I first tried it at a Williams-Sonoma sale when they stopped carrying it. It has a wonderful flavor so I was pleased to find it on amazon and received 5 star service from Taylor's Market the seller who sent my order much faster than the promised date and very well packed so I recommend this great product and the seller.
Good vinegar, but not life changing.May 14, 2012

I've only put the Banyuls vinegar to use on a few salads thus far, but I'd definitely rate it a solid buy. It's not something I'd drink straight from the bottle, but it's definitely better than the majority of vinegar I've purchased from the grocery store recently.

By Wenceslao Miranda
It was supposed to be 750 ml each bottle and only has 500 ml. It was too expensive and don't recommend it to anybody. I am not happy with this purchase.
