IGP in the north-west of the Hérault within the Parc du Haut Languedoc (32 communes from Prémian to Avène, 200–650 m altitude, soils of schist, gneiss, granite, basalt and moraines, temperate Mediterranean-Atlantic climate). Syrah, Merlot and Grenache lead in red blends (Syrah 50%): more taut and aromatic than Languedoc plain wines, fresh fruit and preserved freshness. Chardonnay, Viognier and Sauvignon give aromatic fresh whites—cool nights preserve acidity.
