Recognised by decree in 1987, the "Pays D'Oc" protected geographical indication allows the range of grape varieties to be extended by authorising the use of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir for the production of red wines, as well as Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier and Chardonnay for white wines.
Harvesting of the grapes, vinification and elaboration of the "IGP Pays d'Oc" wines are carried out in the departments of Aude, Hérault, Pyrénées-Orientales as well as in six communes of Lozère.
