The wine region of Côtes Catalanes

Expressive Roussillon heartland: signature Grenache Noir as the red king — fleshy and sunny with notes of ripe cherry, raspberry, garrigue, spices and a peppery touch, round tannins and generous alcohol on schist. Deep Syrah, dense Carignan and Mourvèdre as support. Grenache Gris/Blanc, Macabeu and Vermentino in round whites (fennel, citrus, flowers). Aromatic Muscats.


The wine region of Pays d'Oc

The single-grape IGP par excellence: modern, accessible, frank and fruity wines, the popular signature of the Midi. Spicy Syrah reds (pepper, blackberry), round Merlot, structured Cabernet, generous Grenache, supple Cinsault. Crisp, tangy rosés. Opulent Chardonnay whites, lively Sauvignon, floral, apricoty Viognier.

The word of the wine: Green harvest or green harvesting

The practice of removing excess bunches of grapes from certain vines, usually in July, but sometimes later. This is often necessary, but not always a good thing, as the remaining grapes tend to gain weight.
