Understanding the estate's appellations
La Livinière is the only official red cru in the Languedoc: a village appellation recognised by decree of 16 February 1999, which became AOP La Livinière by decree of 2 September 2022. The appellation rulebooks can be consulted on the INAO website, and the growers' association presents the cru at cru-la-liviniere.com.
