Clairette du Languedoc-Roussillon/languedoc">Languedoc is an appellation from the Languedoc-Roussillon region in southern France. It covers white wines produced exclusively from the Clairette grape. Stylistically, the wines produced under the appellation show remarkable variation, making it difficult to describe the overall style. They range from light, fresh and lively to Soft, Rich, reddish-brown Rancio.
Those labelled "rancio" are aged for three years before being released to the market. In recent years, the production of Sweet wines has exceeded that of Dry wines. The vineyards growing the grapes for this appellation cover just under 100 hectares (250 acres). These are unevenly distributed among the 11 parishes that are authorized to produce these wines.
