Discover le terroir des Aspres
Experience the beauty of Roussillon yourself with this video overview of the region
The vineyard spans over 102 communes in the Eastern Pyrenees and covers 4 351 acres. It is a vast amphitheater limited on the East by the Mediterranean, by the Albères mountain range and Spain on the South, the foothills of the Canigou on the West and the Corbières on the North. This territory is crossed by 3 rivers – the Agly, the Têt and the Tech – which have carved the land into hills and stacked terraces.
The Côtes du Roussillon Les Aspres were granted an AOP of their own in 2003 and became Côtes du Roussillon Villages Les Aspres in 2017 (valid for 2015 vintage and following).
