September 8-12: Languedoc-Roussillon – this region has been hot all summer long, so the harvest has already begun! It is the only region of France where any grape can be grown, as well as the only region in France where land irrigation is allowed.

In Languedoc-Roussillon the reds are the majority — Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Carignan are the grape varietals typical of the area. The Languedoc-Roussillon appellations now produce some of France’s most exciting wines – blends that are rich and full of character with the distinctive imprint of the region. The vin de pays classification – referred to as Vin de Pays d’Oc – has allowed stringent appellation rules to be stretched enabling nonlocal varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay to be planted. As a result, the region produces good value single varietal wines.
