Fitou

Producers and Wine Reviews about the "Fitou AOC"

Appellation at the very south of the French wine region Languedoc in the Département Aude. It is located as an enclave within the Corbières area on the border with the Roussillon wine region. Fitou was classified in 1948 as the first AOC of this region and belongs to the second quality category "Grands Vins du Languedoc". The AOC wines Rivesaltes and Muscat de Rivesaltes may also be produced in the Fitou area.

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
