Languedoc-Roussillon Wines: The Essentials

From the Gard to the Pyrénées-Orientales, Languedoc-Roussillon is France's largest wine-growing region. It brings together terroir-based appellations (Faugères, Pic Saint-Loup, Terrasses du Larzac, Corbières, Collioure), Roussillon sweet natural wines (Banyuls, Maury, Rivesaltes), and major IGP regions, such as Pays d'Oc and Côtes Catalanes, where winemakers have greater freedom with grape varieties.

Which grape varieties are grown in Languedoc-Roussillon?

For reds, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan, and Cinsault; for whites, Grenache blanc, Roussanne, Marsanne, Vermentino, and Picpoul. IGP regions also grow international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.

What is a Pays d'Oc IGP?

A protected geographical indication covering the entire Languedoc-Roussillon region. Its rules, which are more flexible than those for AOPs, allow the grape variety to be listed on the label.

What dishes pair well with Languedoc wines?

The reds pair well with grilled meats, cassoulet, herb-roasted lamb, and Mediterranean cuisine; the whites pair well with grilled fish, shellfish, and goat cheese.
