La Tour Apollinaire partners with some of the finest chateaux in the Pyrenees-Orientales region:

Chateau Valmy

We offer our guests a selection of fine wines from our partner Chateau in the region.

The Vineyard and the Terroir

Enjoying a Mediterranean climate on ground covered by the appellations of Côtes du Roussillon, Muscat de Rivesaltes and Rivesaltes, the 24-hectare vineyard surrounds Chateau Valmy's cellars. Situated in the foothills of the Albères massif, the terroir is composed of a mosaic of soils resulting from the folding of the Pyrenean chain.

 

Four dry wines and two vins doux naturels make up the prestigious range of Chateau Valmy wines.
Constant research and commitment to quality has already begun to bear fruit: Since the first vintage in 2000, the number of awards garnered by their wines has continued to grow. Top quality packaging and avant-garde label designs complete the exceptional character of these great wines.

 

Le Premier de Valmy

AOC Côtes du Roussillon - Aged in oak barrels
Only the finest selected Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache Noir, cultivated on soils in a granite arena and harvested by hand with the greatest care, are used in this cuveé. The traditional vinification is combined with a long maceration. Following twelve months of barrel aging in air-conditioned cellars, the wine is placed in numbered bottles after a simple filtering.

The deep, dense red colour presages a generous and elegant wine, with aromas of ripe fruits that open out at depth with oak accents. Wine-lovers can lay down this wine worthy of aging to discover its full complexity. To appreciate fully the structure and fruit of this exceptional wine, we advise you to serve it at around 18°C, it will make a perfect companion to your gastronomic meat dishes and delicately refined cheeses.

Les Roses Blanches de Valmy

Vin de Pays des Côtes Catalanes
Vinified in oak barrels

Beautiful white roses adorn the entrance to the vines and give their name to this cuveé made from a blend of Viognier, Marsanne and Grenache Blanc, planted on the estate’s coolest, pebbly terroirs.

Low yields, manual harvesting using 10 kg crates, a continuous sorting and enormous respect during the execution of the harvest allows us to obtain, after vinification and maturing in oak barrels, this pale gold wine with silver tints. Delicate vanilla aromas presage complex, balanced flavours and a beautiful length.

This cuveé perfectly complements the iodized accents of freshly caught fish, cooked on the skin.

Château Valmy Rouge

AOC Côtes du Roussillon
A preponderance of Syrah accompanied by Grenache Noir and Mourvèdre. Low yields are compulsory on the pebbly terraces with their shallow soils. Harvesting is done by hand using small crates.

Partly vinified by carbonic maceration, temperatures are constantly controlled in order to maintain the deep purple colour of this cuveé with its fruity character. The balance in the mouth is characterized by a wholly supple and round structure.

Its charming nature means it complements both red meats and, if lightly chilled, simply prepared fish dishes.

Château Valmy Rosé

AOC Côtes du Roussillon

On our well exposed slopes, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre mature optimally and are then harvested by hand using small crates in the freshness of the morning.

After sorting, the harvest is fed into the vat by gravity for a short maceration. Made from a gentle pressing, the first pressed juice is blended with the run-off juice; the fermentation is temperature-controlled.
It’s a pink that’s both bright and deep with glistening reflections.
Cheerful, fruity aromas dominate this characterful blend, with its rich and refreshing flavours.

Serve well chilled, the light structure goes equally well with a plate of Collioure anchovies, Serrano ham, or even spicy dishes.
