Coteaux du Languedoc is a large wine area, from Narbonne in the west to the edge of Camargue in the east and up to the Cévennes mountains. Actually the area is so large that Coteaux du Languedoc is subdivided into the following sub-appellations:

– Grès de Montpellier (including Saint Georges d’Orques)
– La Clape (and Quatourze)
– Pézenas (and Cabières)
– Pic Saint Loup
– Picpoul de Pinet
– Terrasses de Béziers
– Terrasses du Larzac (with Montpeyroux and Saint Saturnin)
– Terres de Sommières

Faugères and Saint Chinian have their own appellation because of the characteristics and history of their wines.

Although the 20th century was tough for wine makers because of the poor quality and the huge production, the 21th century marks a new era: less production, more quality, more grape varieties (such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Viognier or Merlot) and more new techniques. Today, Coteaux du Languedoc is one of the most look-after appellation in France and this should continue for the next coming years.
