Collioure and the Royal Castle of Collioure Gourmet connoisseur Roussillon
As a gourmet connoisseur, you should make your way without delay to the spot where the Pyrenees and Mediterranean meet. Twenty-six kilometres before the Spanish border, you will find one of the most beautiful small fishing harbours in all France, and one of the finest AOC Roussillons. This is Collioure, a picturesque, photogenic village that looks out over a translucent sea, a village proud of its château that once hosted the court of the kings of Majorca. Here the vines also enjoy views of the Mediterranean: overlooking Collioure, the local grape varieties — Grenache noir, gris, Mourvèdre, Carignan and Syrah — are grown in a spectacular terraced amphitheatre, divided into square plots by kilometres of dry stone walls. Although 70% of the wine made here is red, the Collioure white is just one of the very pleasant surprises produced by the terroir in recent years. This is also a region of artists, inspired by the colours and perspectives. In short, Collioure is an El Dorado for gourmet connoisseurs.
