Vin de pays des Collines de la Moure
Vin de Pays des Collines de la Moure is a wine-growing region belonging to the French Vin de Pays category in the Languedoc region . It is located in the Hérault department . It roughly corresponds to the two AC regions, Muscat de Frontignan and Muscat de Mireval . This country wine is produced by 27 communities between Sète and Montpellier and its hinterland up to a height of 200 m . The soil is predominantly clay, towards the south it is more calcareous. The vines are mainly planted on the east and south-east slopes and are therefore quite well protected against the cold north winds. The wines are produced in roughly equal parts by private wineries and cooperatives .
Mainly red wines from the varieties Cabernet Sauvignon , Carignan , Cinsaut , Grenache Noir , Merlot and Syrah are grown and expanded. The rosé wines make up 15% of the quantity. White wine is made exclusively from Trebbiano , which is called Ugni Blanc here, but only accounts for around five percent of the market volume. Well-known producers are Domaine de Terre Mégère, Mas de Bayle and Domaine de Valmagne.
