Discover Coteaux du Languedoc

The Coteaux du Languedoc, now known as AOC Languedoc with several complementary geographical denominations, represent one of the oldest and largest vineyards in South-West France. Located between the Mediterranean Sea and the slopes of the Cévennes mountains, these hills showcase an exceptional diversity of terroirs ideal for producing rich, expressive, and sun-kissed red, white, and rosé wines.

Terroir and Characteristics

The terroir of Coteaux du Languedoc is varied, characterized by limestone, clay-limestone, and schist soils that lend each wine a unique personality. The Mediterranean climate combines warm, sunny days and cool nights, ensuring optimal ripening of the grapes. Key grape varieties include Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Carignan for the reds, and Grenache Blanc, Vermentino, Roussanne, and Picpoul for the whites.

Wine Profile

The red wines from Coteaux du Languedoc stand out with their depth, intense aromas of ripe black fruits, spices, and garrigue, sometimes complemented by toasted or licorice notes depending on aging. They offer a full-bodied structure balanced by freshness derived from the terroir. The white wines reveal complex aromatic profiles combining citrus, white flowers, yellow-fleshed fruits, and mineral nuances, showcasing vibrant acidity and elegance. The rosés captivate with their bright color, freshness, and aromas of red berries, citrus, and aromatic herbs.

Food Pairings

Coteaux du Languedoc wines pair beautifully with Mediterranean cuisine: grilled lamb, ratatouille, grilled fish suit the whites and rosés perfectly, while reds complement braised dishes, red meats, and spicy preparations. They also match well with aged cheeses like Pélardon or Tomme de Lozère.
