The Languedoc-Roussillon : land of diversity
With its 250 000 hectares, the Languedoc-Roussillon is the largest wine region in France and one of the most diverse in the country. Endowed with a Mediterranean climate, very varied soils as well as an ancestral winemaking tradition, it offers an incredible wealth of grape varieties, appellations, and types of wines, capable of delighting enthusiasts worldwide. Let's make a brief summary of all its characteristics.
The grape varieties of Languedoc
The grape varieties cultivated in Languedoc-Roussillon are very numerous.The region primarily produces red wines (75% of the vineyard) and about fifty varieties of this type are represented. Among these, we notably find the Syrah, the Grenache, the Carignan and the Merlot. Nevertheless, many other grape varieties are present such as the Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, Mourvèdre or even Cabernet Franc. All these varieties are also used to compose delicious rosé wines, mostly focused on pleasure.
Although in the minority, the white grape varieties offer very beautiful wines with varied profiles. The most planted variety in the region is the Chardonnay but we also find Sauvignon, Muscat, Viognier, Grenache blanc and Grenache gris, Maccabeu, Vermentino or even Roussanne and Marsanne.
The appellations of Languedoc
Languedoc-Roussillon has many renowned wine appellations. Among the most famous, we can mention Pic-Saint-Loup where the domain La Chouette du Chai produces magnificent vintages and creates great wines for aging, or the Côtes-du-Roussillon (Domaine des Schistes) as well as the AOC Minervois (Domaine de Courbissac). The AOC Languedoc, Saint-Chinian, Fitou, Corbières, and also Muscat de Rivesaltes are also recognized for their beautiful wine production.
The IGPs are also very present in the region and actually represent nearly 80% of the local production ! Thus, the IGP Pays d’Oc, Côtes Catalanes (Château de L’Ou), Cévennes (domaine Perdrix-Lasouche) or Hérault are capable of producing friendly wines as well as powerful wines with magnificent aging potential.
Types of wines and terroirs
The wines produced in Languedoc-Roussillon are extremely varied. Thus, in addition to the classic reds and whites, the region is also known for its Vins Doux Naturels, such as Banyuls and Maury, produced from late-harvested and fortified grapes. These sweet wines offer a concentration of flavors as well as exceptional complexity, similar to those made by Mas Amiel, an absolute reference in the genre. More rarely, surprising orange wines are also made. Finally, refreshing sparkling wines are also produced, like the Blanquette de Limoux.
From a terroir perspective, Languedoc-Roussillon is a true geological millefeuille. From the Mediterranean coast to the Pyrenees mountains, through plains and hills, each sub-region has its own microclimate and specific soil types, giving the wines a great diversity of aromas, flavors, and structures. In the north, the soils are rich in schist, limestone, and sandstone. The river valleys of the Hérault department offer alluvial soils while the coastal terroirs are marked by the influence of the Mediterranean Sea, with clay-limestone and sandy soils.
In conclusion, the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region is a true French wine treasure. With its range of grape varieties, appellations, types of wines, and terroirs, it offers a rich and exciting wine experience. Whether you are a fan of red, white, rosé, sweet, or sparkling wines, you will find within it quality wines that will surely convince you.
