Discovering the wine region of Grand Roussillon

Grand Roussillon is a Sweet, high Alcohol white wine produced in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France. It is a natural sweet wine made by Mutage, which gives it an alcohol content of about 16% and a high natural residual sugar content. Some Grand Roussillon wines are produced using a prolonged oxidative ageing process, such as Rancio; all are subject to a minimum of two years' ageing before being released for sale. The main Grape varieties used to make this relatively rare wine are Muscat Blanc, Muscat d'Alexandrie, Grenache, Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris and Maccabeu.

Under the appellation laws, Carignan, Cinsaut and Syrah are also allowed, as is Listan, an obscure grape more commonly associated with the Canary Islands. The mention of grape varieties on the labels of Grand Roussillon wines is forbidden, unless the wine is made exclusively from the grape varieties mentioned; in no case may the name Muscat be mentioned. This last clause is intended to maintain the distinction between these rare wines and the sweet Muscat-based wines that are more widespread in the Languedoc-Roussillon region. Grand Roussillon can be considered a cousin of the better known sweet wines of Rivesaltes and Banyuls.

    Discover the grape variety: Vermentino

    The vermentino grape variety was widespread in Italy, Sardinia and Corsica. Today, Vermentino is grown in the regions bordering the Mediterranean, mainly in Provence (Côtes de Provence, Bellet), Corsica (Corse Calvi), Languedoc (Côtes du Roussillon, Costières de Nîmes) and the Rhône Valley (Côtes du Luberon). Because it ripens late, Vermentino requires a warm climate for its development and can only be grown in regions with good sun exposure. Conversely, cold or temperate climates do not allow it to ripen properly. Vermentino is only susceptible to powdery mildew. When vinified on its own, Vermentino produces a single-variety dry white wine that is light and full-bodied with a pale yellow color. It can also be blended with other grape varieties such as Ugni Blanc, Cinsault and Grenache, in which case its low acidity makes it light and fresh. Vermentino belongs to the grape varieties of Ajaccio, Corsica and Corbières. The aromas released by this variety are multiple. One can detect notes of fresh apple, green almond, sweet spices, hawthorn, ripe pear and fresh pineapple.

The recent Wines of Roussillon tasting, held in London, not only highlighted many good quality dry wines being produced, but also cemented the idea that Roussillon whites are ...

    Andrew Jefford: ‘2021 has been the year of all the miseries’

    How’s the weather been this year? Awful. ‘La nature m’écoeure’, one of my wine-growing friends posted on Facebook on 8 April, having been out to look at the frost-crippled shoots on his vines that morning: ‘Nature disgusts me’. It takes a lot to make a wine-grower feel that. He wasn’t alone. Jeremiads echo around the northern hemisphere as 2021 closes. It’s been the year of all the miseries. None suffered more horribly than the growers of Germany’s Ahr valley, where floodwaters caused by the fou ...
