La Rectorie Côté Montagne Collioure Aoc, 2021

La Rectorie Côté Montagne Collioure AOC 2021 is a distinctive red from the rugged Roussillon coast, where steep hillside vineyards and Mediterranean influence give the wine both freshness and intensity. Produced by the respected La Rectorie estate, it reflects the character of Collioure: bold, mineral, and deeply expressive, with a sense of place that has made the appellation one of southern France’s most compelling.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this 2021 Collioure typically shows a deep ruby to dark garnet colour. The nose is layered and inviting, with dark berries, wild herbs, garrigue, and a subtle saline or stony edge that speaks to its coastal origin. On the palate, it tends to combine ripe black fruit with savoury spice, earthy nuance, and firm but polished tannins. The finish is usually long and energetic, with enough structure to age gracefully for several years, developing more complexity and tertiary notes over time.

Production
Sourced from hillside vineyards in the Collioure appellation of Roussillon, the wine benefits from a dramatic terroir of schist soils, steep slopes, and a warm Mediterranean climate tempered by sea breezes. These conditions help produce concentrated fruit while preserving freshness and mineral tension. Specific harvest and vinification details are not provided, but wines from this site are generally crafted to highlight purity, balance, and the character of the vineyard.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, roast duck, herb-crusted game, ratatouille, or slow-cooked Mediterranean dishes. It also works well with mature hard cheeses and charcuterie. Serve at around 16–18°C; decanting for about 30–60 minutes is recommended to open up the aromas and soften the tannins.

Producer
La Rectorie is a highly regarded producer in Roussillon, particularly known for its work in Banyuls and Collioure, where it has helped define the region’s reputation for expressive, terroir-driven wines. The estate is recognized for combining traditional know-how with a clear focus on precision and authenticity, earning respect both locally and among collectors of southern French wine.
