We’ve all heard stories behind some of France’s historic wines: Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne and Rhône. Even the rich histories of Alsace and the Loire Valley have steadily gained recognition. Yet one of the most historically significant wine regions in France has been given the cold shoulder. Tucked in the southern-most portion of arguably the world’s greatest wine country lies Languedoc-Roussillon.
The wine culture in Languedoc-Roussillon dates back to the 7th century but only recently has the quality of wine begun to match its sheer quantity. The region lays claim as the largest wine region worldwide, with approximately three-quarters of a million acres under vine. In the past, the reputation of these wines was based solely on quantity. But recently, several sub-appellations have emerged, producing world-class wines that compete with the likes of their more well-known neighbors. And they won’t require Wall Street bonuses to afford!
