Wines from the Languedoc-Roussillon region in France

This week I’m taking a snapshot of the Languedoc-Roussillon, easily the most unwieldy wine region in France and arguably the world.

This is a huge region comprising five départments in south-east France just over the mountains from Spain.

This is fairly wild country and has sunsets and rugged landscape just as dramatic as anything in Provence or Tuscany and can easily be visited from Ireland by hopping on a flight to Carcassonne.
