Terroirs

The Corbières vine growing area is divided into 11 distinct terroirs. For the growers this means different soils, different micro-climates and different ways of working. For the visitor it means a surprising variety of landscapes. From the Mediterranean, with its long sandy beaches, you can pass through the well-watered plain around Lézignan-Corbières, up to the empty high Corbières: dry, stark and rocky, all within an hour’s drive

In July and August, on the coast you will find plenty of entertainment on offer, but also crowds. But for Northern Europeans May, June and September are easily warm enough, and quieter.

On the other hand, if you are more interested in walking than lying on beaches, you may find July and August too hot, but lower prices and more suitable weather from April to the end of June and in September and October.

And, of course, the historic monuments can be visited all year round.
