Granted AOC status in 1977, it forms the foundation of the region's appellation hierarchy. The area is defined by a distinct Mediterranean climate, experiencing France's warmest and driest weather with over 300 days of sunshine annually. The vineyards are heavily influenced by the strong Tramontane wind from the north and the humid Marin breeze from the sea. The terroir is highly complex, featuring a diverse mix of granite, gneiss, black and brown schist, limestone, clay, and stony terraces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe broader Roussillon region stretches from the Pyrenees down to the Mediterranean Sea, boasting its own distinct Catalan culture and identity. It is home to one of France's oldest wine cultures, characterized by steep, terraced vineyards. In this region, dry red wines like those from the Côtes du Roussillon Villages appellation are traditionally crafted from a blend of at least three grape varieties, with Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre serving as the primary varieties, often supplemented by Carignan, Cinsault, and Lladoner Pelut.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cellier des Comtes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57298073747782,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1047_e58e3b19-d6d3-4e0b-bfe2-4e750be72981.jpg?v=1788862219","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/cotes-du-roussillon-villages-caramany-cellier-des-comtes-1983","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
