The wines of Languedoc-Roussillon

A historic wine region

The cultivation of vines in Languedoc-Roussillon dates back to Antiquity. Long associated with mass viticulture, the region has undergone a spectacular transformation since the 1980s. Thanks to restructuring efforts, the enhancement of terroirs and a quest for quality, it now produces wines recognized for their typicity and excellent value for money .

A mosaic of appellations and PGIs

The region comprises a collection of Appellations d'Origine Contrôlée (AOCs) such as Corbières, Minervois, Faugères, Saint-Chinian, Limoux , and Collioure , as well as a vast area of ​​Indication Géographique Protégée (IGPs) , including the renowned Pays d'Oc and Côtes Catalanes . This diversity allows for the exploration of a wide range of styles, from easy-drinking wines to great wines for aging, including innovative organic and natural wines.

A wealth of grape varieties and styles

Red wines dominate production, primarily made from Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan , or Cinsault . They offer aromas of ripe fruit, spices, and garrigue, with tannins ranging from supple to powerful depending on the terroir. Rosé wines are fresh, fruity, and perfect for warm weather. White wines, made from Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Marsanne, Macabeu, or Vermentino , reveal notes of white flowers, citrus, and sometimes a beautiful minerality.

A favorable Mediterranean climate

The hot, dry climate, combined with a wide variety of soils (schist, limestone, rolled pebbles, red clay, etc.), produces sun-drenched, concentrated yet balanced wines . The presence of winds – the Tramontane and the sea breeze – plays an important role in regulating humidity and promotes healthier viticulture.

Food and wine pairings and the pleasures of the table

Full-bodied red wines pair perfectly with grilled meats, Mediterranean dishes, meats in sauce, or aged cheeses . Rosé wines are ideal for aperitifs, composed salads, and southern cuisine . White wines go wonderfully with seafood, grilled fish, and exotic or vegetarian dishes .
