Wine with Leslie: Three wines inspired by my visit to Roussillon in France

Highlights included visits to Dom Brial and Dom Lafage and I feature three of their wines below.

Among the most fascinating wines I tasted were made within a few dozen kilometres from our tasting room.

I was on my travels again in September, visiting Roussillon in the south-eastern corner of France on the Spanish border. I was staying in the historic village of Thuir and in Perpignan.

Roussillon has a proud Catalan heritage and street signs are in both French and Catalan. Roussillon is often linked with the Languedoc (Occitan and Catalan are related) but there are noticeable differences between the regions.
