For a sweet touch, try the famous berlingots de Pézenas, handmade with natural colorants. Pézenas is also home to another well-known specialty: pâtés de Pézenas.
The Languedoc is best known for its great, ripe, intense red wines (Corbières, Saint-Chinian, Faugères), but it also offers Picpoul-based white wines and sparkling wines from the Limoux terroir.
With 23 different AOCs (Aude, Limoux, Muscat, Corbières, etc.), Languedoc wines are not alike.
These grape varieties have one thing in common: their sunny notes and garrigue aromas. Cabernet-Sauvignon, Muscat, Clairette, Picpoul, Carignan and Grenache are the most famous Languedoc grape varieties. Others include Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Bourboulenc and Syrah. And let’s not forget the white aperitif made with Muscat from the town of Frontignan!
