Ten reasons why you should drink a Pinot noir from Languedoc-Roussillon

The French region of Burgundy is nowadays the best-known wine cultivating region of Pinot noir with its' 10580 hectares. In this region we can find the most expensive bottles of Pinot (for example the Henri Jayer- Richebourg Grand Cru's average price is 9802,20 euros for one bottle)! However, the region of Languedoc-Roussillon is not falling behind. It exploits "only" 2100 hectares of Pinot noir, but it still has had a great success in the U.S. before the fraud scandal which, unfortunately, touched our lovely region.
