Regional Wines
The whole region is dominated by vineyards, and much of
life revolves around the production of wine.
Languedoc-Rousillon claims to be the largest vineyard
in the world, and anyone who has spent a holiday here
wouldn't argue with this. |
Until relatively recently
however, most wines in this area had not been considered
good quality. The wines certainly did not have the same
reputation as wines from Bordeaux or Burgundy.
Times are changing – and quickly. Some of the wines
now rank with the best from the other wines growing areas
of France. There are many extremely good wines growing
areas around Lamalou-les-Bains, and we just choose and
list three below.
Visitors to the town can take their time to discover
the many other excellent wines in the area. It can be
fun travelling around and visiting the many wine caves
in the region.

Faugères
|
The Faugères vineyards,
like all of the Coteaux du Languedoc, go back to Roman times.
Most of the vines are grown in rocky stony soil, and produce
a red wine that is the perfect accompaniment for meats and
game.
Most of the caves have people who are quite happy to spend
time with visitors and to explain their craft and their life
producing some of the best red wine in the world..

Saint-Chinian
|
The Saint-Chinian appellation,
is set on both sides of the Orb and the Vernazobres. The production
area is limited to dry rocky slopes or terraces, oriented
in most cases towards the sea.
There is an extensive range of wines of the Saint-Chinian
cru that will satisfy a good number of culinary recipes. There
are rich and full-bodied wines to accompany most meat and
game and lighter wines that are excellent with the cheese
course.

Cabrières
|
Wine from the village of Cabrières
is excellent. The wine's full name is Cabrières Coteaux
du Languedoc Caves de Vignerons de Cabrières. This
identifies it as a red wine from the Coteaux du Languedoc
region in the Midi, or south of France, produced by the local
co-operative.
Production of the rose wine is also dominated by the local
co-operative. Cinsaut is the local grape variety and must
make up 45% of the blend for the wine.
