Narrative:
[I] was following a B767 to land at ZZZ on runway xxl. I was PF. ATC notified us of wake turbulence and issued vectors and speed reduction. B767 was clear of the runway and taxiing back when we were on approach. At 200 AGL [we] began to feel the wake turbulence of the 767. At 100 AGL the aircraft began to roll to the right [and] I applied full left aileron to counteract the roll and the aircraft continued to roll right. I executed a go around [and] continued around to another approach to xxl.we had appropriate wake turbulence clearance; but an aloft tailwind condition lead to the drift and continuation of wake turbulence; [it] was a good decision to go around and try another approach. No other deviations were observed.
