Minervois La Livinière, Corbières Boutenac, Faugères and Saint-Chinian Berlou and Roquebrun and La Clape are primarily reds with highly effective aromas and agency tannins. These pair superbly with stews, grilled meat (uncommon or medium uncommon is greatest, as well-cooked meat could seem dry on the palate), dishes that includes tomato sauce, recent herbs and black olives, or a luscious leg of lamb with rosemary.
Languedoc’s whites are much less well-known, however they're definitely worthy of consideration—particularly with dinner.

Hold an eye fixed out for these wineries:

- Domaine de la Tour Penedesse, Faugères appellation. My favorite: “Les Raisins de la Colère” made with Mourvedre and Syrah.
