Cette wines?

While looking through a late 19th century New York City Chamber of Commerce report, I found a wine term I never heard of before - Cette Wines - so I did some research:

"Cette Wines -

"Burgundy," "Port," "Vermouth," etc., exported from Cette, an important city on the French Mediterranean coast and the principal shipping point for the Department of Hérault. Hérault produces nearly one-tenth of the total French wine supply, but only a comparatively small quantity is exported, the bulk being retained for domestic consumption."
