The wine region of Gard
Vast Languedoc IGP between Costières and Camargue (Gard): signature Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Mourvèdre and Cinsault as reds and rosés — fruity and sun-drenched with cherry, strawberry, raspberry, garrigue, spice and a peppery touch (Camargue gris rosés emblematic on sand). Floral whites from Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Viognier and Vermentino. IGP, ~25,000 ha across 24 communes, sunny Mediterranean climate, cleansing mistral.
The wine region of Pays d'Oc
The single-grape IGP par excellence: modern, accessible, frank and fruity wines, the popular signature of the Midi. Spicy Syrah reds (pepper, blackberry), round Merlot, structured Cabernet, generous Grenache, supple Cinsault. Crisp, tangy rosés. Opulent Chardonnay whites, lively Sauvignon, floral, apricoty Viognier.
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
