Rares Terroirs is a collection of wines from the Languedoc Roussillon region.
AOC Corbières wines from the Alaric mountain owe their generous and expressive character to a traditional grape variety on clay-limestone soils and a climate characterized by marine and western flows.
All the selected terroirs have a history and their own specific characteristics that are ideal for the crafting of fine wines. All are premium, high-quality wines, whose unusual aromas set them apart and which have been selected to offer consumers an alternative drinking experience.
