Languedoc Travel Guide: This Southern French Region Is a Must-Visit Wine and Seafood Destination

There’s something at once exotic and approachable about Languedoc, the northern swath of the sister territories known as Languedoc-Roussillon, France’s largest wine-producing region. Its wines, culled from over 100 grape varieties that grow in Languedoc-Roussillon, are as varied as the jigsaw of its microclimates and terrains, which stretch along the Mediterranean between Provence and the Spanish border.

The Languedoc is beautiful, and despite its proximity to the eternally popular Mediterranean, there’s a remarkable (and welcome) lack of tourists. In fact, as you walk oak-lined roads to petite villages cobbled around a single central square, you get a constant sense of peeping through a keyhole into a panorama that’s so charming and undisturbed—and, well, French—that it’s hard to believe the place isn’t overrun. Take Puimisson, the tiny town between Montpellier and Béziers where I couldn’t find a cash machine but did encounter a group of septuagenarians playing their daily game of late-afternoonpétanque。在那里，我在天然葡萄酒师杰夫·哥特鲁（Mas Coutelo亚搏电竞u）停了下来，并抽出他的ClasseCuvée，一种生动，多汁，水果前锋芝麻粉，Grenache和Cinsaut或Mourvèdre，它们构成了Coutelou的无补充硫酸盐哲学。

Languedoc is France’s largest organic wine-growing region; the warm, dry climate discourages the growth of molds, mildew, and fungi, which makes synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides less necessary. A shining light of this movement is Gérard Bertrand, who, since 2002, has gradually converted his domains to biodynamic practices. Bertrand happily admits that already being one of the region’s largest organic producers has made his adoption of the labor-intensive methods easier, but many much smaller estates, such as the lovely, biodynamically farmed Domaine de la Réserve d’O, share the same disinclination toward using man-made chemicals in their vineyards.
