Languedoc - Description
of the region:
This is the most extensive wine growing region in the
world covering mountain sides, hills, scrubland, plains and coastlines.
The Languedoc-Roussillon streches from Nîmes in the east to
Carcassonne in the west and is bounded in the north by the Massif Central.
Vineyards cover 400,000 hectares and produce more than 500 million litres
of wine.
Béziers is considered to be the wine capital of the region.
Great Languedoc wines:
It
has been said that Languedoc wines aren’t drunk outside the region!
And it is certainly true to say that a lot of table wine is produced here.
But that would be unfair on the region. Many good wines are produced
and there is a trend towards production of increasingly high quality.
Corbières is definitely the best.
