About Languedoc-Roussillon

In the south, the hot, sun-drenched vineyards of the Languedoc and Roussillon wine regions don鈥檛 just produce loads of inexpensive wine under the Pays d鈥橭c umbrella. Some AOCs, such as Corbi猫res, Minervois, Coteaux du Languedoc and C么tes de Roussillon offer a magic mix of great value, history and fascinating herbal (garrigue) and fruity flavors.A new hierarchy has recently been agreed upon for Languedoc appellations, with AOC Languedoc wines at the bottom of the pyramid, followed by Grands Vins de Languedoc (such as Saint-Chinian and Faug猫res) and finally the Grand Crus du Languedoc (such as Pic Saint Loup and La Clape).A veritable alphabet soup of grape varieties are grown, with the most common being Syrah, Carignan, Mourv猫dre, Grenache and Cinsault.
