The AOC Minervois is located on the foothills of the Montagne Noire, straddling the Aude and Hérault rivers. It extends over nearly 60 km. This appellation covers an area of 4,250 hectares and produces about 181,500 hectoliters per year.
The grape varieties mainly used are carignan, grenache noir, syrah and mourvèdre.
The AOC Minervois produces mainly red wines. These wines with good ageing potential are defined as tender and velvety.
It should be noted that there is also an appellation Vin Noble du Minervois which applies to sweet dessert wines (made from muscat, grenache and maccabeu) with a complex mouthfeel.
