Côtes Catalanes

To qualify for the Côtes Catalanes PGI designation, wines must be made from grapes harvested in the Pyrénées-Orientales department, with the exception of the four communes of Collioure, Port-Vendres, Banyuls-sur-Mer, and Cerbère, which constitute the Côte Vermeille vin de pays production area.

The Côtes Catalanes IGP appellation produces red and rosé wines. The Côtes Catalanes IGP designation may be supplemented by the name of a grape variety, in which case the wines must be made exclusively from grapes grown from that variety. On September 1, 2003, Côtes Catalanes IGP wines replaced the former Catalan local wines, the local wines of the Fenouillèdes hillsides, and the local wines of the Agly valleys.

Within the Côtes Catalanes IGP, the production of Domaine du Clos des Fées, Domaine Boudau and Domaine Gauby is particularly noteworthy.
