Languedoc is a broad wine region on France's Mediterranean coast, stretching from the Rhône delta towards the Spanish border. WineFortune tracks one wine here — a still red carrying the IGP designation, from a single producer in the sub-region of Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert.
The region is best known for warm-climate reds built on Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan and Cinsault, grown on garrigue-covered slopes of limestone and schist under a dry Mediterranean climate. Alongside its appellation wines, Languedoc produces a large body of IGP wines, a designation that gives growers freedom in grape choice and style.
Critics have reviewed the tracked wine once, scoring it 93 on the 100-point scale, with a drinking window from 2023 to 2038. WineFortune has not yet published an index median for Languedoc; where shown, the index reflects WineFortune's own trades and listings over 90 days, quoted per 75 cl bottle.
