Languedoc-Roussillon

About this region

The vast crescent along France's Mediterranean coast is the country's largest wine-producing region and a powerhouse of value. Spread over diverse limestone, schist and granitic terrains under intense sun, the region grows Carignan, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault for structured reds; Picpoul de Pinet, Vermentino and Grenache Blanc for whites. The IGP/Vin de Pays category accommodates international varieties at low prices, while top AOCs like Pic Saint-Loup, Faugères, Corbières and Banyuls produce serious wine. Languedoc is also France's organic-viticulture leader.
