Malepère Wines
Malepère is the most Westerly part of the Languedoc receiving Atlantic influence more so that Mediterranean. As a result, the key grapes here are actually the Bordeaux varieties (Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon) as they are better suited. This is reflected in the regions requirements too, where a minimum 40% Merlot must be in the final blend.
