Languedoc-Roussillon Wine

Languedoc-Roussillon sits in the south of France along the Mediterranean coast, and it's one of the country's most reliable sources of everyday drinking wine without sacrificing character. The region produces a genuine mix of styles, with warm-climate reds built around Grenache and Syrah alongside increasingly good value whites and rosé. It doesn't carry the prestige pricing of Bordeaux or Burgundy, which makes it a smart place to look if you want authentic French wine without paying for the name. Compared with the Rhône Valley further north, styles here tend to be a touch riper and more relaxed. For the wider French range, French Wine covers everything else, and Red Wine is worth a look if you'd rather shop by style.
