Coteaux du Languedoc

The Coteaux du Languedoc appellation is a regional appellation that, following a decree dated April 30, 2007, now encompasses all AOCs in Languedoc and Roussillon under the single name Languedoc. The diversity of the Languedoc’s terroirs and the distinct character of its wines have led to the establishment of a hierarchy within the Coteaux du Languedoc appellation. Thus, within the Coteaux du Languedoc appellation, one can notably distinguish the sub-regional appellations of Saint-Chinian, Faugères, and Clairette du Languedoc, recognized as AOCs under their own specific decrees. The addition of the communes of origin completes this hierarchy: Cabrières, La Méjanelle, Montpeyroux, Picpoul de Pinet, Quatourze, St-Christol, St-Drézéry, St Georges d'Orques, St Saturnin, and Vérargues.

TheCoteaux du Languedoc appellation spans three departments: Aude, Hérault, and Gard, covering 22,000 hectares of vineyards. The geographical production area thus encompasses 168 communes stretching along the Mediterranean coastline, from Narbonne in the west to the borders of the Camargue in the east, and backed by the foothills of the Montagne Noire and the Cévennes. The uniqueness of this appellation lies in the diversity of its terroirs.

The wines of the Côteaux du Languedoc are reds, rosés, or whites. Due to the appellation’s diversity, the authorized grape varieties form a mosaic: Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre (at least 50%) alongside Cinsault and Carignan for reds and rosés, and Grenache, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Piquepoul, Roussanne, Marsanne, and Rolle (at least 70%) alongside Carignan, Terret, Ugni, Maccabeu, and Viognier for the white wines of the Côteaux du Languedoc. These blends express all the qualities of the Coteaux du Languedoc terroir, particularly through the wines of Mas Cal Demoura, Domaine de Montcalmès, Château Puech-Haut, Domaine Peyre Rose, Domaine de l'Hortus, Château des Aurelles, as well as Domaine d'Aupilhac, Mas Julien, and Domaine du Pas de l'Escalette. White, rosé, or red—it’s a matter of choice. Vintage or non-vintage, wine is appreciated differently depending on the palate. You’ll find a wide variety of products in our selection, such as Saint-Saturnin, Saint-Christol, or the refined Pic Saint-Loup.
