As strict as the control is, Pays d'Oc IGP gives the winegrowers the greatest freedom. From 58 different grape varieties, they can choose the ones that best suit the origin and style of the winery.
A unique wealth of aromas in red, white and rosé.
From the very beginning, Pays d'Oc IGP has focused on single-varietal wines. The sensational success is due to this strategy. Worldwide, and even in France itself, consumers find it difficult to understand the complicated French system of appellations. Grape varieties, on the other hand, speak a clear language. In Germany, where viticulture traditionally focuses on individual grape varieties, this is well received. The export success speaks for itself - to which the excellent price-performance ratio also contributes.
Clear message
The label of a Pays d'Oc IGP wine clearly states the vintage and often also the grape variety:
-
Wines made from two grape varieties
The second variety, if it is to be named, must account for more than 15 per cent.
- Pure varietal wines
Nine out of ten Pays d'Oc IGP wines are single-varietal wines. They must consist of at least 85 percent of the specified grape variety and may contain up to 15 percent of other varieties.
- Assemblages
They consist of several grape varieties
Where can Pays d'Oc IGP wines be found and how can they be recognised?
