With 290,000 hectares of vines, Sud de France/Languedoc-Roussillon area is the world’s largest single wine-producing region, representing a third of the volume of France’s wine production.

.

The region is now making a wide range of world-class wines, thanks to its clement climate, excellent terroir, a policy of replanting grape varieties, and the sustained efforts of a growing number of dedicated, passionate vignerons.

.

Join us for this FREE Roussillon Masterclass tasting on 24th September 2009, organised in association with the Academy of Food & Wine.

.

You’ll have the opportunity to sample a number of red, white, rosé and fortified wines, including the hidden gem, Collioure blanc 2007 from Abbé Rous and the prestigious Rivesaltes ambré 1982 from Arnauld de Villeneuve. Learn step-by-step how to pair them with a range of foods and how each blend of subtle tastes will appeal to your clients.

This superb session will be led by Eric Aracil, Export Manager at the Roussillon generic wine body.
