Cassagnes: Fenouillèdes vines around the Agly dam
Cassagnes is a commune in the Pyrénées-Orientales located in the Fenouillèdes, close to Rasiguères and Latour-de-France. The village is closely linked to the dam on the Agly, which strongly shapes the surrounding landscape.
In this area, vines grow on dry, often stony slopes, producing structured red wines with notes of garrigue, spice and dark fruit. Local varieties—Grenache, Carignan and Syrah—are frequently farmed organically, and sometimes in natural winemaking styles.
To situate Cassagnes, continue your route toward the Agly Valley and Maury, two must-see hubs for wine tourism in the north of the département.
