Vin de Pays d'Oc Louis Fabre 2002
This 2002 red wine is produced by Louis Fabre and is estate-bottled in southern France. It is a varietal wine made from Merlot, a classic dark-skinned grape variety that is frequently cultivated in prominent wine regions such as Bordeaux, California, Washington, and Northern Italy. The wine holds the Vin de Pays classification and carries an alcohol content of 13%.
The wine originates from the Languedoc-Roussillon region, which stretches along the Mediterranean coast from Nîmes and Montpellier in the east to Perpignan and the Pyrenees in the southwest. This expansive area is one of France's largest and most diverse wine regions, featuring a varied landscape of coastal vineyards, warm plains, cooler mountain slopes, and limestone ridges. The local climate is sunny, warm, and dry, often shaped by strong winds that help maintain healthy vineyards.
More specifically, the wine is classified under the Pays d'Oc appellation, an area established in 1987 that covers the entire Languedoc-Roussillon region. Producing over six million hectoliters annually, it is the dominant IGP in France. The vineyards benefit from a distinct Mediterranean climate with hot, 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 dry, northwesterly Tramontane wind. The soils in the Pays d'Oc are remarkably varied, ranging from coastal alluvial deposits to limestone, clay, schist, granite, and volcanic rocks. This classification allows for a wide selection of grape varieties and has established the area as a significant source of varietal-labeled wines.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon lies in southern France along the Mediterranean, from Nîmes and Montpellier in the east to Perpignan and the Pyrenees in the south-west. The area is one of France's largest and most diverse wine regions, with coastal vineyards, warm plains, cooler mountain slopes and limestone-rich heights. The climate is sunny, warm and dry, often shaped by wind, which gives ripe grapes and healthy vineyards. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan are important black grapes, while Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Marsanne, Vermentino and Picpoul are used for white wine. The wines range from fresh whites and rosé to full-bodied, spicy reds with dark berries, herbs, liquorice, pepper and Mediterranean spices. The area is known for great variety, strong value for money and classic appellations such as Corbières, Minervois, Pic Saint-Loup, Faugères, Saint-Chinian, Fitou, Banyuls and Rivesaltes.
