Wines of the Catalan plain
Sun, sea and vines
A Territory of Many Faces
From the alluvial plain to the coastal lagoons, via the streets of Perpignan, the plain wine route offers remarkable diversity.
The Plain
At the heart of Roussillon, the alluvial plain of the Têt river hosts generous vineyards swept by the Tramontane wind. Varied soils give birth to structured Côtes du Roussillon and the celebrated Muscat de Rivesaltes.
The Coast
Between lagoons, salt marshes and the Mediterranean, the Roussillon coastline produces characterful wines in a wild, preserved setting. From Saint-Cyprien to Leucate, vines and sea are neighbours.
Perpignan and surroundings
Perpignan, capital of Roussillon, is the ideal starting point for exploring the wines of the plain. Passionate wine merchants, local wine bars and Catalan markets make up a vibrant wine scene.
