Between the warm sun of the Mediterranean Sea and cooling Atlantic winds, you’ll find Languedoc, a region characterized by a diversity of terroir, a wide array of wines and a southern French character that stands apart. Nature defines us, delivering more than 300 days of sunshine each year to nurture the independent spirit of our growers, winemakers and négociants. Together, we cultivate the most organic vines in all of France.
AOPSWINE LANGUEDOCFRANCE
Guided by instinct and techniques honed by centuries of history, our 3,000 winemakers and 20 AOPs offer a rich variety of wine, from the red blends of AOP Corbières, to the charming whites of AOP Picpoul de Pinet to fresh sparkling from AOP Limoux.
Welcome to Languedoc!
