Demonstrating to buyers the variety found in the Languedoc and aiming to extend the region's listings in the UK is the aim behind the CIVL's latest buyer's trip.

Organised in conjunction with Harpers and supported by AOC Corbières, AOC Saint-Chinian and AOC Languedoc, the trip will take place next week (October 22-24).

A host of the UK's top buyers will visit numerous wineries and producers for a snapshot of what the region has to offer. They include Ana Sapungiu (Oddbins); Gordon Coates (Stone, Vine & Sun); Laurent Chaniac (Cinnamon Club); Sarah Louise Riddle (The ETM Group); and Simon Andrew Broad (10 Green Bottles).

Harpers will be printing a full report of the trip, which will be featured in our November 2 issue.
