The Languedoc is the largest area in the world under vine. It stretches from the Rhone basin virtually to the Pyrenees. A sun-drenched region with a huge diversity of soil types all contributing to ideal conditions for wine growing. Interspersed between the vineyards and olive groves are Cathar Castles and Roman ruins, constantly reminding you that this beautiful, unspoilt area of the Mediterranean has been inhabited, loved and fought over for more than 2000 years.
