6 centuries B.C. The Languedoc-Roussillon: over 2600 years of vine-growing and winemaking tradition. Viti-viniculture activity began 6 centuries before Jesus Christ (B.C.). A few centuries later, the province of Narbonne rapidly developed under the Roman emperor Auguste. The veterans of Roman legions were often wine growers from Campanie and were given land in Narbonne or Beziers in recognition for their long years in service. This is how the first known vineyard in Gaul came into being.  The wine trade became more structured and grew rapidly thanks to the "Voie Domitienne". This trade route, built in the Pays d'Oc from Beaucaire to the Perthus, linked Spain and Italy. Today it is a lasting foundation that witnesses the history of Pays d'Oc's vineyard

The Pays d'Oc boasts 200 km of beaches and vast expanses of vineyards bathed by the sun.  A rich and natural combination of steep slopes, hilly peaks, vineyards, garrigue vegetation and the sea, the Pays d'Oc territory is embraced by its Mediterranean climate that comfortably enfolds the vines with its dry and windswept soils.
