Corbières is one of the largest wine appellation in France. To distinguish the wines, Corbières is divided into 11 terroirs (what is a terroir ?) such as Sigean, Lézignan, Boutenac and Lagrasse. The "terroirs" produce mainly red wines. The grape variety is Carignan for about 50%. More and more wine are made in oak barrels. It demonstrates the path taken towards quality by wine makers in Corbières for about a century. Red wines are rich and, spicy, full body and fruity. Although competing now with Coteaux du Languedoc and Saint Chinian, Corbières wines still offer good value.
