Roussillon
Roussillon Wine - Browse Wines from the Roussillon region of France
Roussillon formed part of the Kingdom of Majorca (hence its Spanish influence) and the inhabitants of this region, which runs from the hills of Corbières (north of Perpignan) to the Spanish border, fiercely regard themselves as Catalan to this day. Roussillon enjoys near-perfect viticultural conditions – the highest number of sunshine hours in France, low rainfall and the bracing Tramontane wind drying the fruit and cleaning the vines. The region is responsible for 90% of the country’s Vin Doux Naturel (Rivesaltes, Maury & Banyuls), yet also produces good-value, age-worthy reds.
