		In truth, the Languedoc was historically an ocean of insipid wine, sold cheaply all over France.
		But the Languedoc has undergone a remarkable transformation in the last 25 years, as the market for mediocre wine has dried up and, simultaneously, the market for fine wine has expanded.
		One of the joys of Languedoc wines is that you often don't know what it is you are drinking, which liberates you from preconceptions.

		In a restricted sense, Languedoc refers to a particular region - that area between the Garonne and the Rhone which encompassed greater Toulouse, but it has come to imply the whole south of France.
		It is a cultural and a linguistic reference ("langued'oc" makes reference to the southern dialect term for "yes" - "oc"); the south is quite distinct from the north, having been in contact with Mediterranean civilizations for a very long time.

		INTRODUCTION The Languedoc and Roussillon region is one of France’s best-kept secrets.
		And so much the better for those in the know: a dramatically varied landscape, two distinct, proud cultures Occitan and Catalan, a tradition of heresy and steadfast rebellion, and age-old customs all combine to make this a region deservedly unmatched in its romantic associations, at once epitomizing and contradicting everything that is France.
		Now shaking off centuries of sleepy neglect, Languedoc and Roussillon is emerging as one of the most enticing parts of the country, its remote villages and little-travelled byways affording a much-needed window onto a rural culture no longer found in northern France.
