The region's winemaking history dates back to the 5th century BC and has been influenced by various cultures and civilizations.

The Languedoc-Roussillon AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) is a prestigious designation for wines produced in the region which meet specific criteria such as grape variety, vineyard location, and winemaking techniques. The AOC includes several sub-regions, each with its unique terroir and style of wine, offering wine enthusiasts a diverse range of wines to explore.


Languedoc-Roussillon is renowned for producing innovative and creative Rosé wines with various flavours and styles thanks to the region's warm climate and diverse terroir. Popular grape varieties used in Rosé wines include Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault. Notable Rosé wines from the region include the Domaine Tempier Bandol Rosé and the Mas de Daumas Gassac Rosé Frizant.


The region is also well-known for its full-bodied and complex red wines, which range from rich and fruity to earthy and savory. The warm Mediterranean climate and rocky soils make it a perfect place to grow a variety of grape varieties, including Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan, and Cinsault. Notable red wines from the region include the Domaine de la Grange des Pères, Mas de Daumas Gassac Rouge, and the La Peira en Damaisela Terrasses du Larzac Rouge. Languedoc-Roussillon winemakers are renowned for experimenting with new winemaking techniques, such as blending different grape varieties or ageing the wine in oak barrels, resulting in a diverse range of red wines that cater to different tastes.

Wine Advocate (94)

Slightly more ripe, voluptuous and textured than the more Syrah-dominated l’Esquerda, the translucent purple-colored 2013 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Latour de France Occultum Lapidem comes from the schist soils around the village of Latour de France. A blend of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Carignan that was harvest on September 15 and aged all in concrete tanks, it’s a fabulous wine that offers elegant notes of red and black raspberries, roasted herbs, pepper, melted licorice and asphalt. These flow to a medium to full-bodied 2013 that has a full, layered mid-palate, beautiful fruit, fine tannin and a classically focused, dry finish. It continues to freshen up in the glass, has integrated acidity and lots of class. Buy this brilliant wine by the case and drink it over the coming decade.

The 2013 Rouge from Daumas Gassac is a particularly profound wine and one of the best this year from the south of France. Spicy, powerful and deeply structured, it feels like an iron fist in one of Aimé's velvet gloves.
