A Guide to One of France’s Most Underrated Wine Regions
There was a time when Languedoc-Roussillon had little reputation for quality wine—but over the past two decades, that has changed dramatically. Today, this sun-drenched region in the south of France is celebrated for its extraordinary diversity and rising quality. Home to ancient grape varieties preserved by passionate winemakers, Languedoc-Roussillon produces everything from robust reds and elegant whites to rosés, sparkling wines, pét-nats, orange wines—and even blouge.
​
This beautifully illustrated guide demystifies the region’s Appellations, Vin de Pays, and Vin de France classifications, offering a clear, engaging resource whether you’re just beginning your wine journey or are a seasoned connoisseur.
