Saleilles

Saleilles: vineyard plains at the gates of Perpignan

Just a few minutes from Perpignan, Saleilles lies in the Roussillon plain, a terroir renowned for its alluvial soils and rolled pebbles. The sunshine and the tramontane wind promote healthy grapes and full ripeness, ideal for generous wines.

Red and rosé wines are often based on blends of grenache, syrah and mourvèdre, while whites (grenache blanc, macabeu) keep a fine aromatic profile. The proximity of the sea and the lagoons sometimes brings a touch of freshness and a saline note.

To complete your itinerary, combine a visit to Saleilles with Elne and the coast, to compare the expressions of plain wines and more maritime terroirs.
