\r\n \r\nThe Corbières vineyards form a vast quadrilateral where the traces of an eventful geological history can be seen. Corbières vineyards are planted on predominantly clay-limestone soils, with variations depending on the terroir: red sandstone at Boutenac, stony terraces at Lézignan, grey marl at Quéribus and Serviès, schist in the upper Corbières and coral limestone on the Mediterranean coast. The Corbières appellation is subject to the Mediterranean influence, which can be seen to the east in the typical vegetation of the garrigue. Some of the more westerly terroirs feel the oceanic influence. \r\n \r\n Corbières wines, produced in three colors (red, rosé and white), are made from Carignan (50% maximum), Syrah, Grenache Noir, Lladoner Pelut, Mourvèdre, Piquepoul noir, Cinsault and Terret noir for reds and rosés. Corbières white wines are made from Bourboulenc - known here as Malvoisie - Grenache blanc, Maccabeu, Clairette, Muscat (maximum 10%), Piquepoul, Terret blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne, Rolle or Vermentino. Vinification is traditional for reds and whites, with no bleeding or direct pressing for rosés. Château d'Aussières, Château Vieux Moulin, Domaine Maxime Magnon and Château La Voulte-Gasparets have all mastered the art of working with these grape varieties . \r\n","Today, Corbières producers are moving towards organic farming (around 45,000 hl) and sustainable development.
