Corbieres

Corbières is part of the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region of France. Almost 46% of the region's production was designated AOC in 2005, thus making it the largest AOC production in the region.
95% of the wines produced in the Corbieres is red with only a small amount of rose and white to make up the balance.
Due to its size and geography, Corbières encompasses an enormous variety of soil types and microclimates. The wines from the region tend to be just as varied as the terroir.
Red wines are blended with a minimum of two grape varieties, these must be either Grenache, Lledoner Pelut, Mourvèdre or Syrah and must make up at least 50 per cent of the blend. Carignan, Picquepoul Noir and Terret Noir can be part of the blend but must not exceed 50% of the blend.
Rose's have a minium of two grapes in their blend which are generally Grenache, Lledoner Pelut, Mourvèdre, Picquepoul Noir and Syrah, Cinsault to name but a few.
Like the Rhone wines the Corbieres wines are blended with a lot of different grapes.
