Languedoc

Languedoc is a wine-growing region located in the southern part of France, specifically in the Languedoc-Roussillon region. It is the largest wine-producing region in France and one of the largest in the world.

The wines produced in this region are made from a wide variety of grape varieties, such as Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, and Mourvèdre for red wines, Vermentino, Roussanne, and Marsanne for white wines, and Cinsault and Grenache for rosé wines.

The region has a Mediterranean climate with long, hot summers and mild winters, which leads to wines with good ripeness and high alcohol level. The wines from this region are typically rich and full-bodied, with flavours of dark fruit, spices and a hint of garrigue for reds, and floral, tropical fruits and a hint of mineral for whites.

Languedoc wines can also carry an Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) or Indication Géographique Protégée (IGP) depending on the specific area and regulations.
