WINEMAKING
Muscat de St-John-de-Minervois is an appellation for Muscat-based vin doux naturel, in the Languedoc region of southern France. The appellation is named after St-John-de-Minervois, a small village at the southern end of the Massif Central (the range of low mountains in central southern France). It overlooks the vineyards of the very different Minervois appellation to the south. Due to the slightly higher altitude here (660ft/200m), the climate is cooler than in many wine-growing areas of the Languedoc, allowing the Muscat Blanc a Petits Grains grapes a longer hang-time. This fact-coupled with the excellent drainage and poor soils of the area- means that Muscat de St-John-de-Minervois wines are often more complex and more delicate than other Languedoc Muscats.
