By country :: France :: Roussillon
Roussillon, despite often being hitched nominally to the Languedoc (Languedoc-Roussillon), has its own unique scenery, culture and viticultural history. Traditionally it products are rich sweet wines, namely Banyuls and Maury; however the region is now producing increasingly noteworthy unfortified wines. Roussillon's main grape varieties are Grenache, Grenache Blanc and Muscat.

Banyuls Rimage 'Les Clos de Paulilles' Château de Jau 2009 (50cl) (SW)Our price: £13.70Collioure itself, once known as Banyuls sec, is a dark red wine, made from Mourvèdre (90%) and Syrah (10%), with heady aromas of over-ripe fruit and spices. Banyuls is a Vin Doux Naturel made predominantly from Grenache Noir.
Mas Amiel Vintage Rouge 2010Our price: £24.50The majority of the Maury region is dominated by large co-operatives, and the Mas Amiel is one of the few small, independent vignerons whose ethos matches that of ours here at l’Art du Vin.
Maury Mas Mudigliza 2010Our price: £22.00After spending some time as a winemaker in a Grand Cru estate in Bordeaux, Dimitri Glipa decided to settle in the heart of Roussillon, particularly in the sought after terroir of the Fenouillèdes. Like many talented producers in the area Dimitri produces wines from old vines that are situated at high altitude.
