Fitou: It should be noted that Fitou is split into two separate areas. This wine is from the coastal Fitou area, which produces subtle even red wines because of the cool breeze blowing in from the Mediterranean, whilst the other Fitou area is in the Corbieres hills and produces more full bodied wines due to the arid and hot conditions during summer.
