Languedoc-Roussillon Village is often referred to as "Languedoc and Roussillon," but in fact the quality of wine is different between Languedoc and Roussillon Village. In Languedoc, many delicious and inexpensive wines that are easy to drink at home every day are made.

In this region, many producers are also adopting organic production methods.
