France's New Frontier of Wine

Languedoc-Roussillon

The largest wine-producing region in France — and indeed the world — Languedoc-Roussillon has undergone a remarkable transformation. Once known for quantity, it now produces wines of stunning quality and exceptional value. From the wild garrigue-scented reds of Pic Saint-Loup to the sweet fortified wines of Banyuls, this Mediterranean region offers an adventurous alternative to more established appellations, with an increasingly exciting terroir-driven approach.
