Famous for being attached to Languedoc; Roussillon has its own distinctions: notably the terrain and climate are closer to that of neighbouring Spain. Interestingly, many there still regard Roussillon as part of Catalonia.
North facing vines are key here to creating full-bodied wines that are still light on their feet yet have a sapidity and zing not found in many parts of Southwest France. Domaine Gauby is regarded as a leading light in the area for good reason, an explosive orchard awaits you when cracking in to this and it will completely melt in the mouth whilst scoffing a pork belly or apple crumble, even together if you so wish!
