Languedoc Wines are Making a Comeback

High quality wines, with exceptional value for money

24 Octobre 2022

For several years now, the Languedoc's producers have decided to refocus on high quality wines and offer exceptional value for money.

As the leading producer of organic wine in France (almost one in three French organic wines comes from here), the region is committed to more than 140 projects to support winegrowers in the energy transition: better management of water and energy, protection of biodiversity or the implementation of large-scale agro-ecology.

In the heart of the South of France, stretching from the Spanish border to that of Provence, bordering the Mediterranean, the Languedoc is the largest wine region in France. The Languedoc is also the main producer of rosé wine in France and one of the oldest regions, since viticulture dates back to the 5th century BC when the Greeks planted the first vines in the region.

Viticulture has since developed into one of the main economic activities of the region, with many estates being inherited from generation to generation. In fact, the oldest sparkling wine in the world is from the Languedoc! It is the Blanquette de Limoux which dates back to 1531.
