Languedoc-Roussillon French Wine

Languedoc-Roussillon is not a wine appellation in itself despite the term being used by many wine professionals and wine aficionados. Historically, wine bottles noted the specific wine appellations of Languedoc AOC and its many sub regions, along with Côtes du Roussillon and its respective sub regions. Since January 2016, both Languedoc-Roussillon and the Midi-Pyrénées regions have been grouped together for administrative reasons, becoming a part of the newest region, Occitanie, and include the larger IGP appellations of Pays d’Oc, Côtes Catalanes and the brand ‘Sud de France’.
