IGP Pays d'Oc

Formerly known as Vin de Pays d’Oc, the IGP Pays d’Oc covers the entire vineyard area of Languedoc-Roussillon and spans nearly 120,000 hectares of vines, between the Mediterranean coast and mountainous terrain. With no fewer than 58 authorized grape varieties, this protected geographical indication offers great freedom of expression to winemakers and alone represents nearly half of the region’s wine production. The diversity of terroirs, combined with a warm and dry Mediterranean climate, allows for the production of wines with varied and accessible profiles. Nevertheless, wines from the IGP Pays d’Oc are generally geared towards immediate enjoyment, with expressive and indulgent wines, particularly well positioned in terms of value for money. Red, rosé, or white, they are an excellent introduction to the wines of southern France.
