Côtes du Roussillon Villages is a French appellation located in the Roussillon wine region that includes the villages Caramany, Latour de France, Lesquerde, and Tautave, all surrounding the village of Maury. The appellation exclusively produces red blends that are based on Grenache, Carignan Noir, Lladoner Pelut, Syrah and Mourvèdre.
Due to different soils and blends, the wines can slightly differ in character, but they are generally powerful and tannic with fruity notes that are complemented by herbal, spicy, mineral, and earthy nuances. The wines perfectly pair with game, white or red meat, and cheese.
