In the deep south of France on the Mediterranean coastal region lying is often shared with mentioned. The much smaller Roussillon with only about one sixth of the vineyards close to the west. To the east of the Languedoc wine region bordering Provence and the Rhone to. The name derives from "langue d'oc", which means "language of yes" (oc = yes) means. The Occitan language was spoken in the Middle Ages to the south of the Loire, north spoke to "langue d'oil" (from "oil" developed "oui").
Long before the much more famous Champagne here a sparkling sparkling wine was produced, today's Blanquette de Limoux . Until the 1980s, the Languedoc had a reputation as a particularly cheap, mass-producing wine growing region. From the early 1990s, it was funded by the EU Clear with the aim of a significant reduction in the major European wine surplus. This led to a very significant reduction in vineyards within ten years from about 350,000 to now "only" 250,000 hectares. The trend is still rising strongly.
The vineyards cover a total of 220,000 hectares. They cover nearly 240 miles along mostly near the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea from Nimes with the wine legally to the region Rhone appellation counting Costières de Nimes to Narbonne in the east with the appellations Limoux and Corbières in the West. Most of it is on low-lying alluvial soil, where there were also the most deforestation.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Marsanne, Merlot, role, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier and role can usually only be used for the most part unmixed wine country. In red wines, the method is carbonic maceration (carbonic maceration) are common. The Languedoc is the main supplier of French wine simple and produces 80% of the vin de pays . The fame of the wine country including reasonable Mas de Daumas-Gassac .
Association of CIVL (Comité Interprofessional des Vins du Languedoc), a new classification for the wines of the region developed, which entered into force in 2011. The pyramid-shaped hierarchy in ascending order is Languedoc AOC, Grands Vins du Languedoc and Grands Crus du Languedoc. Basics are both qualitative and economic criteria. Among other things, certain minimum sales prices and sales channels are required. A wine must meet certain characteristics, and by running on top of the Languedoc AOC a fixed admission process to be classified in the appropriate category. The small appellations should be strengthened by this focus on its terroir can go.
The first level of quality Languedoc AOC was first created in 2007 and replaced the former appellation Coteaux du Languedoc. It covers about 30% of wine production in the region. See the details below Languedoc (appellation) .
On the second level of quality Grands Vins du Languedoc account for about 60% of wine production. It is structured, aromatic plants, which are typical of their terroir. Approved most of the appellations below, as well as the Crus of the former appellation Coteaux du Languedoc, which are Cabrières, La Méjanelle, Le Quatourze, Montpeyroux, Picpoul de Pinet , Saint-Christol, Saint-Drézéry, Saint-Georges d'Orques and Sommières. The maximum maximum yield is 48 to 50 hl / ha. Still wines may be downgraded to the category of Languedoc AOC.
At the top of the pyramid are the Grands Crus du Languedoc with 10% of wine production. The most expressive wines have the default: "scarcity value and bear the signature of the producer." White wines must be at least six months, reds, at least twelve months will be removed. A sensory examination is required. At least 70% of production will be sold directly from the winery. Therefore, the Corbières appellation Boutenac, Grés de Montpellier, Limoux, Minervois La Livinière, Saint-Chinian and Saint-Chinian Berlou Roquebrun and Crus Clape , Pezenas, Pic Saint-Loup and approved Terrasses du Larzac.
