What's the difference between AOP Languedoc and other regional appellations?

The AOP Languedoc is a regional appellation that includes several prestigious sub-appellations such as AOP Saint-Chinian, AOP Minervois, and AOP Faugères. Unlike these more specific appellations, the AOP Languedoc allows for greater grape variety diversity and a broader range of wine styles. AOP Languedoc wines are often more affordable while still offering a beautiful expression of the Languedoc terroir.
