More similar to Spain than to Languedoc, Côtes du Roussillon is a sun-drenched region on the eastern edge of the Pyrenees… . The appellation is crossed by three rivers - the Agly, the Têt and the Tech - which have carved the landscape into hills and terraces perfect for winemaking. The soil is varied throughout the region - granite, gneiss, and schist dominate the north-west, red limestone is common throughout Corbières, and the Aspres is primarily made up of clay and sand.
