A below-the-radar vineyard in southern France, Mas de Daumas Gassac, is challenging the dominance of Bordeaux and Burgundy. Languedoc's vinous moment is at hand.
The French region of Languedoc has been a victim of its own success since early times.
The area was cultivated with vineyards by the early Greeks in the fifth century. Languedoc had belonged to France since the 13th century and Roussillon was acquired from Spain in the 1650s; the two regions were joined in the 1980s.
