Roussillon wines
The Roussillon climate is characterized by a dry summer season and a rainy period in autumn and early spring. This Mediterranean climate, influenced by the nearby mountains, favors the ripening of the grapes. Geologically speaking, Roussillon is a tormented area that underwent profound upheavals in the Tertiary and Quaternary eras. As a direct consequence of these many upheavals, the variety of Roussillon's soils and subsoils makes for fascinating geological walks, with each of the four main terroirs itself divided into a multitude of zones with very distinct characteristics, sometimes recognized by a particular AOC.
The main grape varieties of Roussillon wines are Carignan, Grenache, Lladoner Pelut, Mourvèdre and Syrah for red wines, especially those recognized by a local AOC such as Côtes du Roussillon Villages. White Roussillon wines are essentially made from Grenache blanc, Macabeu, Malvoisie, Muscat, Marsanne, Roussanne and Vermentino. The Roussillon region also boasts some famous appellations renowned for their vins doux naturels: Rivesaltes, Banyuls Collioure and Maury.

Domaine Gauby - Côtes Catalanes Vieilles Vignes rouge 2022
95/100 Coup de Cœur RVF

Domaine Gauby - Côtes Catalanes Coume Gineste 2022
98/100 Coup de Cœur RVF

Domaine Gauby - Côtes Catalanes Les Calcinaires rouge 2023
93/100 RVF

Domaine de la Rectorie - Banyuls Léon Parcé 2022
93/100 RVF
"The wood is still prominent, but that doesn't matter, the wine has a mass capable of digesting it. In the meantime, we enjoy the slightly licorice sweetness on notes of cinnamon, cardamom and black figs. Structured without being heady, the wine finishes on a perfect touch of mint." (Le Guide RVF 2025)
Domaine de la Rectorie - Banyuls Rimage Thérèse Reig 2023
92/100 James Suckling
From a plot planted mainly with Grenache Noir, but also with a little Carignan. This grain-matured wine reveals a generous palate of red and black fruits, blackberry, blackcurrant and cherry. Perfect for laying down!
Olivier Pithon - Le Pilou 2022
95/100 Coup de Cœur RVF
One of Roussillon's great reds, where century-old Carignan grapes, punctuated by Grenache Noir from a parcel at 300m altitude, bring a caressing tactile quality. A ballad between flowers and telluric notes in a complex, elegant wine.
Olivier Pithon - Laïs blanc 2023
94/100 RVF
Fresh and rich, Laïs blanc is a compromise between northern identity and Mediterranean style. This blend of Maccabeu, Grenache Blanc and Grenache Gris is aged in barrels - both new and used - but reveals fresh floral notes. A fine Catalan white!
Olivier Pithon - IGP Côtes Catalanes Mon P'tit Pithon rouge 2023
3.5/5 (2 reviews)
89/100 RVF
A red that reveals itself to be a gourmet, easy-drinking cuvée. Olivier Pithon aims for fruit and roundness, for maximum pleasure.
Olivier Pithon - D18 Côtes Catalanes 2023
95/100 Coup de Cœur RVF
A parcel-by-parcel selection of old vines planted on schist, D18 is a true cuvée de terroir produced with very low yields and aged for 18 months in foudre for a splendid result of finesse and aromatic richness.
Le Clos des Fées - IGP Côtes Catalanes Là Où le soleil se lève rouge 2022
Là où le soleil se lève 2022 comes from a parcel known by village elders as THE parcel that produces the best wines. Complex and elegant, the nose combines aromas of blackberry jam, peony and raspberry, with herbaceous notes. The elegant, dense palate offers a refined texture thanks to the extreme finesse of the tannins. A seductively balanced IGP Côtes Catalanes red wine!
Le Clos des Fées - Côtes du Roussillon Villages rouge 2021
92/100 Robert Parker
The estate's flagship cuvée, it seduces with its velvety finish, hints of oak, and notes of blueberries and black cherries. A fine success to be enjoyed, for example, with a fine duck breast...
Le Clos des Fées - Côtes du Roussillon Villages La Petite Sibérie 2021
96/100 James Suckling
Already well known, La Petite Sibérie has become a Roussillon icon. Produced from a small parcel of old vines, this Grenache-dominant wine bewitches from the first nose with its notes of vanilla, blackberry or blackcurrant compote and blueberry tart. The palate, with its fine, delicate tannins, is enveloped in a veil of freshness and pleasant character. A wine that can be kept for more than 15 years, and that will leave you with unforgettable memories.
Mas Amiel - Maury Vintage rouge (vin doux naturel) 2022
96/100 Bettane & Desseauve
An enchanting nose of blackcurrant, cherry and blackberry accompanies a gourmet palate of finesse. A 100% Grenache vin doux naturel that goes equally well with sweet and savory dishes and chocolate desserts.
Mas Amiel - Maury sec Oiseau Rare 2022
92/100 RVF
-
92/100 Bettane & Desseauve
"A wine soared with rain, rocks and roses. It fills the mouth vertically, then broadly, like choral music filling the high vault of a cathedral. The delicate dryness of the tannins brings breath and pauses, increasing the tension and lengthening the echo of its harmonies. A wine of great purity and determination". (Jancis Robinson 2023)
Domaine de Bila-Haut - V.I.T. Visitare Interiore Terrae 2015
95/100 Robert Parker
-
17,5/20 Jancis Robinson
"The Côtes du Roussillon Villages Latour de France Visitare Interiore Terrae 2015 [...] offers a beautifully complex nose of blackcurrant, cassis, damp earth (granite), chocolate and roasted meat. Rich, full-bodied, unctuous and sexy as hell, it offers plenty of sweet fruit, no harshness and a great finish. This is a gorgeous wine to drink over the next 7-8 years." (Wine Advocate 2017) Enjoy with eyes closed!
