Collection: Languedoc
The Languedoc region is historically known for producing red wine, but it also produces a variety of wines, from sparkling to fortified wines.
A typical Languedoc red wine is medium-bodied and fruit-forward. The highest quality wines have a slightly heavier body and a rich, fragrant aroma reminiscent of spices, forest underbrush, and leather.
The grape varieties used for red wines from Languedoc include Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, which are traditional varieties from southern France, as well as Carignan and Cinsault.
White wines are made from Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Bourg-Bouland, and occasionally the Rhône varieties Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne.
As a special case, the local variety Picpoul is also used in Pinay.
Rosé is based on the main red wine varieties, with white wine varieties occasionally blended together.
