Fun fact: Languedoc-Roussillon was known as a knock-off of Rhone wines at lower prices and quality. In the past 10 years, this region has received an influx of young winemakers with access to high quality, lower cost acreage who are living their dreams of planting organic and biodynamic vineyards. You can expect to see good to great wines coming out of this region over the next 20 years.
