The Beautiful South, March 2011
“Why the Languedoc? Quite simply, it is without doubt the most exciting and innovative wine region of France. Everything is possible; the appellations may lay down ground rules, but the parallel vins de pays allow for unlimited experimentation, creating a host of new and exciting wines. Over the last twenty years or so this vast vineyard, which stretches from the Spanish border round to the delta of the Rhône has undergone a dramatic transformation, so that the wines have improved out of all recognition” Rosemary George MW on www.tastelanguedoc.blogspot.com
