The place

Languedoc

A vast Mediterranean sweep from Nîmes to the Spanish border, the Languedoc has gone from bulk-wine sea to France's most exciting frontier. Old Carignan and Grenache on schist and limestone give garrigue-scented reds; the coast yields zesty Picpoul de Pinet; Limoux makes sparkling wine that predates Champagne. France's largest organic vineyard area.
