Why all eyes are on the
Languedoc-Roussillon this year?
Judging chairman Tim Atkin MW
explains why this French region
has so much to offer
How has the Sud de France LanguedocRoussillon Top 100 competition evolved during
the three years you have been chairman of
the judging panel?
The Top 100 has grown from an already established
competition and now fully celebrates the wines and
character of this complex and individual region. The
wines are attracting more and more wine merchants, and
consumer drinkers are ready to explore the LanguedocRoussillon more adventurously. The competition is very
well supported by the producers and our judges, and it
helps sell the wines effectively. Many of our judging panel
are very committed and keen to return each year. We are
always discovering fresh new wine names. There is now also
an increasing number of higher-end wines being entered,
alongside familiar, very reliable brands which are able to
produce consistent wines in bigger volumes.
How do you recommend starting to get
to grips with appreciating this vast and
diverse region?
Nobody can copy wines that are made to reflect terroir.
Go down the varietal route and also look at the IGP wines
where grape variety is the doorway to the wine. New World
wines are leading the way back to this too. Most trophies
in the Top 100 were chosen from designated regions, and
there were outstanding wines among the blends too during
our judging day.
"There has been
huge improvement
in quality year on
year. We have seen
this in the 2012s,
2013s and 2014s in
the competition"
What is so dynamic about the LanguedocRoussillon region right now?
The modern Languedoc-Roussillon is full of history but it
is not old. It is a relatively young wine region and so much
of it is yet to be discovered by wine consumers. It has really
developed in the past 20 years and has changed massively
and rapidly. There are many new producers and styles of wine
being made. The region is huge; twice the size of Bordeaux.
Imagine the diversity when you have a landscape that ranges
from high altitude through to terraces and plains. The best
winemaking there is reflected in wines which give that sense
of place and also those which are skilful blends – some of
the best reds are blends. Look at the Piquepoul and Syrahs;
explore the wines of Corbières and Saint-Chinian.
What can we look forward to next in the style
of winemaking, experimentation and the
wines becoming available on the market?
There has been huge improvement in quality year on year.
We have seen this in the 2012s, 2013s and 2014s in the
competition. Languedoc-Roussillon does not intend to make
the most experimental wines, but you will see marginal
movements. The region is maturing and the new winemakers
are gaining so much experience. You will see every single
winemaking style, including sparkling and fortified wines,
and over 30 grape varieties. Supermarkets and multiples
have embraced Piquepoul and Corbières, but could do better
in offering more diversity. This gives great opportunity for
independent merchants. Generally in the on-trade, wider
representation is needed. There is so much value for money
to be found.
What are judges looking for in compiling the
Top 100 and naming the trophy winners?
We are looking for very skilfully, well made wines. Many of
the wines we settled on were blends. The judges are delighted
to see big-name domains, and we are also excited to discover
new names that we have never seen before, going through
to the trophy line up. In terms of regions, we have a wine
from Terrasses du Larzac, two from Côtes du Roussillon, a
wine from La Clape – one of the most historic areas – a AOC
Faugères; also a Muscat sec and a AOC Languedoc Pic SaintLoup blend. The two top trophies have been awarded to a
AOC Corbières blanc and a AOC Saint-Chinian.
What do Brits really like about
Languedoc-Roussillon wines?
Prices continue to be very appealing. Consumers are
increasingly buying into individual names, but still have
some way to go in becoming fully familiar with the region.
However, it is one of the easiest to promote. The countryside
is beautiful, many people are enjoying relaxing holidays there
and there is plenty of south of France sunshine. What a great
memory to associate good wines with.

THE JUDGING
JUDGING
THE BEST:
The Top 100
The Sud de France Languedoc-Roussillon
Top 100 has evolved into one of the most
anticipated annual wine competitions. In
March, a panel of some of the UK’s star
writers, authors, buyers and sommeliers
tasted, judged and shortlisted outstanding
wines from one of the world’s most
diverse and progressive wine regions –
the Languedoc-Roussillon
FAST FACTS
•
600 wines from 178 producers were rigorously
blind tasted by six panels of judges. The shortlisted
wines were then tasted again by different judges
•
Once the Top 100 wines were selected, the judges
tasted the selected wines and awarded 19 trophies
•
The Top 100 comprises wines from 67 producers
•
65 wines are AOC and 35 IGP
•
68% are red wines, 27% white wines, 5% rosé
•
30% are varietal wines, 70% are blends
•
Consumers can then share in the excitement at
Bastille Day-themed, July tastings in wine merchants.
The wines will also be presented at tastings at
gourmet events, including the Three Wine Men and
Wine Gang shows in key cities; also in Majestic
stores and via new food and wine initiatives

M
ention the south of France and everyone has a
story. Many have enjoyed gourmet holidays in
the historic towns and explored the picturesque
wine countryside, and their thirst for a return
visit is totally understandable. The Languedoc-Roussillon is one
of the greatest destinations for easily accessible wine tourism,
and the wine trade and enthusiasts are fast discovering the
diversity, value and quality presented by the numerous wine
styles, grape varieties and blends.
In this vast stretch, from the Mediterranean to the more
western reaches with an Atlantic influence, lie such different
and distinctive terrains, altitudes and microclimates, which
shape one of the world’s largest winemaking regions. It can
achieve with remarkable success what other French wine
regions do traditionally well and stick to, plus it offers so much
more of its own recent creation.
What the Languedoc-Roussillon offers is a dynamic harmony
of well-backed, big-name brands through to boutique smallproduction wineries. Their mutual vision of a distinctive
regional style comes together in wines which are reliably good
value with easy appeal, yet have a distinctive character that give
a sense of place. New discoveries, plus more and more top-end
wines becoming available, give fresh opportunity to appreciate
skilful winemaking and help spread the reputation of the
region on a world-class level.
Over 30 indigenous grape varieties thrive in the south of
France and there is plenty of freedom in winemaking styles. No
wonder that it has sometimes been tricky to grasp fully what
the strengths, charms and potential of the region really are.
During the intensive day of judging in London, the panel
summed up their views and gave some pointers as to what
the trade can get excited by in the new Top 100. Most
importantly, the Top 100 is about much more than accolades
and certificates. It steps up to being a year-round campaign to
help introduce the wines into UK distribution and encourage
consumers to buy them.
The mood of the judging was vibrant and fast-paced. With
such informed and enthusiastic comments coming from every
member of the judging panel, it was easy to streamline their
views into a handy snapshot of the best of the LanguedocRoussillon. The judges championed the easy character and
drinkability of many of the wines, alongside diversity and
accessible price points, and found plenty to recommend.

THE SCOPE OF THE COMPETITION
The Sud de France Languedoc-Roussillon Top 100 is an annual
competition organised by the Comité Interprofessionnel des Vins du
Languedoc (CIVL) and Sud de France Développement to encourage
producers to show their best wines without restrictive criteria such
as pricing bands.
This fresh, free-style approach has created a welcome environment
for open-minded judging and attracts an impressive panel to rate
the wines. The resulting campaign promotes the distribution and
availability of these Top 100 wines in the UK via on and off-trade
outlets.
