Château Lafitte – Finest Roussillon wines and traditional Rivesaltes from Catalonia
Château Lafitte from the Roussillon produces wines that showcase the full potential of this southernmost wine region of France, close to the border with Spain. The château combines powerful red wines from Grenache, Syrah and Carignan with the rare and fascinating Rivesaltes Ambré, a traditional, oxidative sweet wine with a centuries-long history in this part of French Catalonia. The Roussillon, with its exceptional sunshine, wild landscape and diversity of terroirs, is one of the most exciting wine regions in France – and Château Lafitte is one of its most authentic ambassadors.
The Roussillon: French Catalonia's wine treasure
The Roussillon, also known as French Catalonia, is a wine region of extraordinary diversity and character. Situated between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, with an exceptional microclimate of intense sunshine and cooling winds, the region produces some of France's most concentrated and characterful wines. The soils range from granite and schist in the mountains to limestone and clay in the plains, creating a mosaic of terroirs that express themselves in wines of great complexity. The region is famous for its Vins Doux Naturels – naturally sweet wines like Muscat de Rivesaltes and Rivesaltes – as well as for powerful dry reds that have gained increasing recognition in recent years.
