Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Saint-Chinian is an Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) in the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region in France and is named after Saint-Chinian. It is considered to be the oldest winemaking area in the old Languedoc region of France (now known as the Languedoc-Roussillon and the Midi-Pyrénées in the south of France) as the vineyards have been cultivated since ancient times. The vineyards were developed during the Roman presence in France, notably at the time of the development of the Via Domitia, the first Roman road to link Gaul and Hispania. The wines produced at the time were exported in ceramic vases known as amphoras, across the Mediterranean Sea, and were very much appreciated in Rome. They are mentioned by Cicero and Pliny the Younger in their stories.
