Languedoc » Abv: 12%

Sandwiched between the Mediterranean coast and the peaks of the Pyrenees, Languedoc is one of the most dynamic and fast-growing wine regions in France, producing almost a third of the country’s entire output. It’s an area that thrives on mixing up tradition and modernity, promoting native grapes while also constantly creating fresh blends and adapting to new trends.

Languedoc is a huge area that produces the full range of wines – red, white, rosé and sparkling varieties are all made here. This means there’s no overriding style that characterises all wines – but what does generally link them together is great value.
