The picturesque wine-producing villages between the Rhône and the Spanish border are undergoing a revival. Instead of trying to make pale imitations of the famous wines of Bordeaux or Burgundy, the winegrowers of the Midi have decided to raise their heads and produce their own grands crus. Today, wine lovers all over the world are snatching up the wines of the best estates in the Languedoc and Roussillon.
