The vineyard of Languedoc-Roussillon extends over 4 departments: Aude, Gard, Hérault and Pyrénées-Orientales, on a surface of 42.800 hectares and for a production more than 1.800.000 hectolitres per year. The first to establish vines in the region were the Greeks in the 5th century BC.
Languedoc-Roussillon is located in a Mediterranean climatic zone characterized by mild winters, hot and dry summers and low rainfall. This remarkable climate is therefore ideal for the cultivation of vines.
In 1970, the noble grape varieties were planted, which gave a revival of popularity to the wines of Languedoc-Roussillon. The grape varieties used are therefore very numerous, the main ones being Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Cinsault, Merlot, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Grenache Noir..
The most famous appellations are among others the Blanquette-de-Limoux (recognized as "the oldest wine in the world") or the Muscat-de-Rivesaltes.
