Minervois Ancient Wine Villages

Granted AOC in 1985, Minervois' 4,400 hectares in the Montagne Noire foothills blend Grenache, Syrah & Mourvèdre into soft, velvety reds—the Languedoc's most age-worthy wines born on slopes between Beziers, Carcassonne & Narbonne.

What to do there

TastingMinervois Ancient Wine VillagesMinervois is named for a Roman temple to Minerva. Stone villages cling to hillsides above wild garrigue-covered valleys. Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan vines thrive on schist and limestone the Romans first planted. These are rustic, honest wines.
