As France’s largest wine region, Languedoc-Roussillon offers an impressive array of red wines in varied styles. From the Mediterranean coast to the foothills of the Pyrenees, these wines reflect the sun, soil richness and creative freedom of southern France.

Classic Mediterranean grape varieties

Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan and Cinsault form the foundation of Languedoc-Roussillon reds. Expect a wide range — from easy-drinking, fruity wines to bold, structured reds meant for aging, with flavors of dark berries, spice and garrigue.

A dynamic and responsible region
