The diversity of this region, a vast "terroir" which makes up about 40% of the French wine production, comes as much from the soils and climates, as from the appellations (34 of them) and the varietals used. It is thanks to the initiative of young vintners that its wines have made great strides in terms of quality, offering more elegance and finesse.

The wines of Languedoc are red or rosé, and come from varietals such as the Carignan noir, Cinsault, Mourv_dre, Cournoise (AKA Aubun), Grenaches noir and rouge, Oeillade, Syrah and Terret noir, as well as some secondary varietals which are allowed in quantities of up to 15%.

The Roussillon in its history and climate is only slightly different from its Spanish neighbour, except for its tiny size. It offers Banyuls, Rivesaltes, Collioure and also Maury. These add their wonderful amber colour to the local palette.
