Sud de France is an umbrella brand designed to represent premium quality wines and food products from the<br />

southern French region of Languedoc-Roussillon, in a way that is easily understood by consumers.<br />

Based in London at the Maison de la Région Languedoc-Roussillon, a dedicated team promotes both the brand<br />

and the region’s wines to the UK market. One of its main achievements in 2009 was the first edition of the Sud<br />
