Vin de Pays de L'Hérault
Vin de Pays de'Herault is a sub-region located in the central section of the Vin de Pays d'Oc and many Herault varietal wines carry the Pays d'Oc designation. Nonetheless, it still has a high profile in its own right. The most expensive Vin de Pays of France comes from this large region: Mas de Daumas-Gassac. Aimé Guibert purchased an old farmhouse and its estate near the small town of Aniane in 1970, initially having no plans on vineyards and wine production until a Bordeaux enologist informed him that it was a 'God-given terroir' for wine making. Since then it has risen to become one of France's better estate wines and has not been slowed by having to bear a Vin de Pays label.
