Discovering the wine region of Limoux

Limoux is a relatively New appellation (created in 2003) in the eastern Part of the Aude region of Southern France, which applies to both red and white wines. The vineyards extend around the town that gave it its name, in the foothills of the Pyrenees east of the Languedoc-Roussillon/corbieres">Corbières and south of Carcassonne. Historically, this region is best known for its Sparkling wines, which are produced and sold under the appellations of Blanquette de Limoux and Crémant de Limoux. The vineyards here are higher and cooler than those of any other appellation in the Languedoc-Roussillon, and also further away from the moderating temperature influences of the Mediterranean.

This leads Limoux and its surroundings to produce a style of wine quite different from other appellations. This includes neighbours such as the Corbières. In Limoux Rouge, red wines are made primarily from Merlot (at least 50% of any AOC Limoux blend), supplemented by a wide range of other French red varieties. The blend must include three grape varieties, with the two most important accounting for no more than 90% of the total.
