Bottled for Louis Vialard, the wine originates from the expansive Languedoc-Roussillon region in southern France, an area stretching along the Mediterranean coast from Nîmes and Montpellier to Perpignan and the Pyrenees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Vin de Pays d'Oc, officially recognized as IGP Pays d'Oc since 2009, was established in 1987 and stands as France's largest IGP. It covers the entire Languedoc-Roussillon region, producing over six million hectoliters annually. The area benefits from a distinct Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers, mild winters, and more than 300 days of sunshine each year. These conditions are moderated by sea breezes from the Mediterranean and the characteristic dry, northwestern Tramontane wind. The region features a highly diverse terroir, with soils ranging from coastal alluvial deposits and limestone to clay, schist, granite, and volcanic rocks. The landscape itself is equally varied, encompassing coastal vineyards, warm plains, and cooler hillsides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis specific wine is made from Merlot, a classic blue grape variety. While Merlot is widely recognized for its prominence in regions such as Bordeaux, California, Washington, and Northern Italy, the flexible regulations of the Pays d'Oc classification allow for a broad spectrum of over 50 different grape varieties. This flexibility has made the area France's most important category for varietally labeled wines. The wine is presented in a standard 75 cl bottle with an alcohol content of 12%.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Celliers du Colombier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57670775963974,"sku":null,"price":75.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1695_f3d0e0df-8b77-4532-b36e-9db835a962c9.jpg?v=1792585359","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/vin-de-pays-doc-celliers-du-colombier-1995","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
