Country: France
Grapes: Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Mourvèdre
Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
Côtes du Roussillon Villages sits on the schist and granite hills of the eastern Pyrenees, where old Grenache and Carignan bushes yield very little and ripen fully under intense Mediterranean sun. Dark bramble fruit and black cherry over garrigue herbs, liquorice, black olive and a warm, stony minerality, with Mourvèdre adding a savoury leather edge. Full-bodied and high in alcohol with firm tannin — the Villages tier means lower yields and longer ageing than straight Roussillon, and these wines carry decades more readily than their southern reputation suggests.
