Fitou is a red wine appellation in the heart of the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region in southern France. The wine takes its name from a small Village located a few kilometres from the Mediterranean coast. The typical Fitou wine is not dissimilar to the reds produced in the neighbouring Corbières (i. e.
rustic, Herbaceous, leathery, medium-bodied and moderately Tannic). Both appellations use the same Grape varieties, and the Terroir of the southern Corbières is very similar to that of Fitou. The distinction between them is one of tradition and pride. Any proposal to absorb the Fitou appellation into the Corbières would be strongly resisted by the proud producers of Fitou.
Carignan is traditionally the emblematic grape variety of Fitou. Today, it shares the spotlight with Grenache.

Montpellier) indicate that malpé is the result of a cross between cahours and fer.
The focus of the symposium, unsurprisingly, was on the challenges posed by climate change. As if to illustrate the immediacy of the threat, the symposium took place during a heatwave, with temperatures of over 40°C in Bordeaux and extreme weather events recorded across the coountry: parts of southwest France saw violent storms and winds of 112kph on the evening of 20 June, while vineyards across the Médoc and St-Emilion were damaged by hailstones ‘the size of golfballs’. As Olivier Bernard of D ...
Many wine styles can seem perplexing at first: imagine the first bottle of Barolo if you only know Barossa Shiraz, or the first bottle of Jura Savagnin if you were brought up on California Chardonnay.
