Fitou - France's First Red Wine AOC

Fitou earned AOC status in 1948 - the first red wine appellation in Languedoc-Roussillon. Coastal and mountain zones produce distinct styles. Roman ships loaded wine from these shores 2,000 years ago. Finish your Burdigala-to-Narbo journey with Mediterranean sun.
