Le vignoble de l'AOP Muscat de Frontignan s'étend sur 2 communes du département de l'Hérault. Le vin produit porte la mention de vin doux naturel. Issu exclusivement de raisins du cépage muscat à petit grain, le vin subit une opération de mutage (ajout d'alcool vinique), stoppant la fermentation lors de la vinification. Cela permet de conserver une partie des sucres naturels des raisins. Grâce à ce procédé, on obtient le si particulier "vin doux naturel" au degré alcoolique minimum de 15°.

La robe présente des nuances dorées, une teinte or pâle et brillante. En bouche, les vins sont riches aux parfums de fruits exotiques, de menthe et de citron. L'équilibre en bouche allie sucrosité et fraîcheur. Ils sont consommés de préférence dans leur jeunesse. Avec le temps, la robe prend des reflets ambrés et les arômes évoluent vers des notes de miel, de fruits et d'agrumes confits.

L'AOP est bordée par la mer Méditerranée au sud et par le massif de la Gardiole au nord. La présence sur le territoire de ce massif protège le vignoble du vent du nord, tandis que le vent marin tempère les ardeurs solaires estivales et maintient une légère fraîcheur nocturne bénéfique à la culture du muscat à petits grains et à sa maturité.

Un homme de lettres, réputé sensible aux plaisirs de la bouche écrit le 19 décembre 1774 aux vignerons, pour solliciter "un envoi d'un petit quartaut du meilleur vin de Frontignan" auquel il accorde la vertu de "lui conserver la vie". Il s'appelait Voltaire.

De nombreux faits historiques jalonnent la vie du Muscat de Frontignan de l'antiquité jusqu'à nos jours. L'appellation "Muscat de Frontignan" est une des premières appellations viticoles reconnues en France et voit le jour officiellement le 31 mai 1936.
