How should a Languedoc-Roussillon wine be stored?
The optimal storage of Languedoc-Roussillon wines depends on their style and structure. Full-bodied reds from appellations such as Corbières, Minervois or Pic Saint-Loup are ideally kept between 12 and 15°C, away from light, in a slightly humid atmosphere (around 70% humidity) and free from vibrations. Bottles should be stored on their side to keep the cork moist and preserve the seal. Depending on their tannic structure, these wines can improve in the cellar for between 5 and 15 years. Whites and rosés, which are ready to drink earlier, are generally consumed within 2 to 4 years of their vintage. Natural sweet wines such as Banyuls or Rivesaltes, on the other hand, age very well and can be kept for several decades under good conditions.
