Discovering the wine region of Fitou

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.

The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel

Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
