Our ‘Discover’ series is a collection of wine webinars hosted by WSET School London educators and other experts, covering different regions or styles of wine.
In this webinar recording, Richard Lane DipWSET, journalist and WSET School London educator, takes you through the large and poorly-understood region of the Languedoc in southern France. Once having endured a poor reputation for producing high volumes of vin de table, the region is undergoing a revolution, with a number of innovative new producers taking advantage of cheaper land prices and the Midi’s favourable Mediterranean climate.
With only a quarter of vineyards under appellation, producers have more flexibility in the Languedoc than in other French wine regions to explore what is possible, while AC wines keep a grip on tradition – from Picpoul de Pinet on the Mediterranean coast, to the more historic appellations of Corbières and Minervois – the Languedoc has something to offer everyone. Watch the video to learn more.
