Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc has been an important center for winemaking for several centuries, with the port of Sète and the connection to the Atlantic Ocean through the 17th-century Canal du Midi providing key trade routes. Looking back, there is evidence of Roman winemaking in the area. The ruins of a first-century winery are located near Clermont, west of Montpellier. The Mediterranean climate and abundant land with soils ranging from rocky sand to dense clay have long been considered very suitable for wine production. However, the heritage of Languedoc-Roussillon is often overlooked in modern times, as the region gained a reputation for producing quantity over quality. Today, the face of Languedoc-Roussillon wine has drastically changed. More viable grape varieties have been planted, and names like St Chinian, Faggères, Corbières, Pic St Loup, and Terrasses du Larzac are becoming increasingly known among sommeliers and wine lovers - and the wines are often offered as great value for money on the wine lists of the best restaurants.

Grenache
Grenache (Garnacha) is a red-wine grape grown extensively in France, Spain, Australia and the United States. Grenache is the French name for the grape, while in Spain it is known as Garnacha, and on the island of Sardinia they call it Cannonau. In France it is most commonly found in the classic Southern Rhone Blend ( it is the main grape variety in Chateauneuf-du-Pape) but also plays a main role in one of southern France's signature Rosè wine style in Provence. In Spain, Garnacha is the key constituent in the prestigious wines of Priorat.
