Producers and Wine Reviews about the "Muscat de Frontignan AOC"

The appellation is located in the south-east of the French wine-growing region Languedoc on the Mediterranean coast. To the east is the AOC Muscat de Mireval and a little further northeast is the AOC Muscat de Lunel (both with similar wines). This white sweet wine was the first of the four Vin doux naturel to be classified as AOC in 1936. It belongs to the second quality category "Grands Vins du Languedoc". The vineyards cover around 800 hectares of vines on clay soils with a high iron oxide content and a reddish colour, interspersed with limestone. They cover the communes of Frontignan and Vic-la-Gardiole in the department of Hérault.
