Languedoc-La Clape
La Clape is a limestone massif and prestigious appellation within Languedoc located between Narbonne and the Mediterranean Sea in southern France. Its terroir features a hot, dry Mediterranean climate moderated by sea breezes, with rocky limestone and clay soils that create drought conditions, forcing vines to dig deep for water. The appellation primarily produces robust red blends dominated by Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, along with distinctive whites based on Bourboulenc, Grenache Blanc, and Roussanne that showcase minerality and salinity from the maritime influence.
