Fitou is a French appellation located in Languedoc (Aude) that produces full-bodied red wines primarily based on Carignan and Grenache, with small percentages of Mourvedre and Syrah. These wines are characterized by typical aromas of ripe red and black fruits, hints of violets, spices, or herbs, as well as nuances of vanilla and oak that develop with age.
Although they can be enjoyed young, Fitou wines greatly benefit from aging. In their youth, these wines can be an excellent accompaniment to white meat or charcuterie, while the well-balanced tannins of aged varieties perfectly complement red meat, game, or stews.
