France
Languedoc-Roussillon
Between the Mediterranean, garrigue, plains and mountain foothills, Languedoc-Roussillon forms one of France's largest and most diverse wine landscapes. Sun, winds and a variety of terroirs allow for an impressive range of grape varieties and styles.
The territory
Where are we?
Southern France, along the Mediterranean, from around Nîmes to the Pyrenees and the Spanish border.
In the vineyard
The climate.
Predominantly Mediterranean: abundant sunshine, hot, dry summers and the influence of several regional winds, including the Tramontane, the Mistral, the Marin and the Autan. Proximity to the sea and the varied terrain, however, create many local contrasts.
