Mas de la Dona, enthusiastic wine makers’ Roussillon fresh red food wine

Weekly wine

Vincent Baissas is the winegrower, family owned Châteaux Dona Baissas, dating back to 1817. Based in the communal area of Calce & Estagel, ca. 10-15 km west from the town of Perpignan, southern France, close to the Spanish border, i.e. the foothills of the Pyrenees. They produce AOC wines under Côtes du Roussillon Villages (this one), Rivesaltes and Muscat de Rivesaltes.

Côtes du Roussillon Villages is the northern sub-region/appellation within Roussillon, in the valley of and along the river Agly. Red wines only and are a step up, bolder, from the Côtes du Roussillon wines. A similar approach as Côtes du Rhône and their Villages varieties, also in its stricter regulations for blending of the permitted grape varieties.
