About Languedoc:
Located between the warm sunny coast of the Mediterranean Sea and cooling Atlantic winds, Languedoc is a region characterized by a diversity of terroir, a wide array of wines and a southern French character that stands apart. Nature defines Languedoc, delivering more than 300 days of sunshine each year to nurture the independent spirit of its growers, winemakers and négociants. Languedoc also represents the highest organic acreage in France. Languedoc is one of the most dynamic regions in France with a selection of fresh and elegant red, white, rosé and sparkling wines from more than 20 unique appellations, a third of which are younger than 25 years old. The United States is the leading export market for Languedoc wines with a 17% increase in growth by value in 2023. Join us to discover why Languedoc is a region to watch with U.S. trade and consumers
