Have you ever heard of Corbières, a French wine region?

Recently, LEESON wine lovers of the Yuncang winery brand shared that there is a sub-region called "Corbière" in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France, which produces AOC wines. Corbière is considered to be the oldest wine village in France with a history of more than two thousand years. "Corbie" in the local language means limestone hills and mountains covered by Mediterranean scrub. This is also the climate and geographical characteristics of the production area.
