Terrasses du Larzac is a sub-appellation of Languedoc in southern France, not far from the town of Montpellier. Vineyards are situated in more than twenty communes, with many plantings at 2600 feet or higher above sea level.

Production is almost entirely red wines, with blends made from five major varieties: Cinsault, Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre and Carignan. The wines are medium to medium-full, with ripe black plum and blackberry flavors, distinct black spice and round, elegant tannins. The wines are paired in this area with rabbit, pork, goat, veal and local cheeses.

Pricing is reasonable with most of the best wines in the low to mid $20 range, although exports are limited. (Wine/Appellations)
