One of the largest wine producing areas in France is also one of the most often overlooked areas for quality wines. Many consumers are unaware that the wines from the Languedoc region in the south of France is blessed with some of the best growing conditions in Europe. A unique combination of soil, sun and influences from the Mediterranean Sea produce naturally healthy vineyards where pesticides and chemicals are rarely employed.

The proximity to the Mediterranean plays an important role in shaping the wines of the region since the maritime influences have a “leveling” effect on the climate in the Languedoc, protecting it from wide swings in weather conditions. This results in near consistent production from vintage to vintage. The temperate climate also allows the wines to be a little more approachable at a younger age.
