Languedoc/Rousillon wines were once the principal source of the European wine lake, with enormous quantities of virtually undrinkable plonk being produced. It was the Australian ‘chemistry set’ that opened it up, showing that with the right grape varieties and modern techniques good wine could be made. Since then Languedoc/Rousillon wines have made enormous strides, quality wines with real individuality are now the norm and at great prices too. The climate is on its side, giving wine-makers consistently ripe and healthy grapes with which to work their magic. Grape varieties tend to be similar to those used in the Rhone Valley but the results are slightly different thanks to the variety of “terroirs”.
