| Video Discription | Languedoc-Roussillon is France's largest wine region and has more organic vineyard land than anywhere else on the planet! Its sheer size means it can produce an enormous variety of wine styles, from sparkling wines to rich whites, spicy reds, and even luscious dessert wines. Biodynamic winemaking pioneer Gérard Bertrand takes center stage, highlighting why caring for the planet and producing incredible wines aren't mutually exclusive. Explore the largest, oldest, and sunniest wine region in France on this episode of V is for Vino! Enjoy the show? We're independently owned and produced and would LOVE your support!

Join Vino VIP: https://www.visforvino.com/vip All locations, wines, and wineries are listed at: https://visforvino.com/languedoc-roussillon/ DESCRIPTION: Languedoc-Roussillon, France, is the largest wine-producing region in the entire world! Crazy right? It’s also one of the most historic. The Greeks explored this area, and the Romans used the city of Narbonne as a Port and trading hub, as it was at the intersection of some of their major roadways. The Romans would plant vines all along the roads and also use them to transport wines from Languedoc-Roussillon across the Roman Empire. Today, Languedoc-Roussilon produces more wine than any other region in France. However, until the last few decades, much of it was unmemorable bulk wine. But more recently, there’s been a focus on establishing AOCs and producing wines with a sense of terroir and quality. Plus, many of the producers here are organic or biodynamic, like our featured producer in the episode @Gerardbertrandofficial Not only has the quality of the wine increased, but because the region is so large, you can literally find every style of wine here! Sparkling, white, rosé, orange, red, dessert, and sweet wines are all common. While there are dozens of grape varieties allowed, there is a grape that Languedoc-Roussillon can claim as its own, and that’s Carignan. This is a “medium” grape: medium-bodied, medium acid, medium tannin. It’s known for its juicy red fruits (cranberry, raspberry) and spice. In this episode, we'll also go hunting for the best bread in the area, visit Carcassonne, the medieval town famous for its Cassoulet, and have an exquisite meal in the Moon Room complete with an audio/visual light show, as well as food and wine pairings. We end the episode at Gruissan's mysterious pink salt farms. I hope you get to visit Languedoc-Roussillon in the South of France, it's such a gem!
