Auvergne wine: our organic, biodynamic and natural selection
The Auvergne vineyards are geographically located in three departments: Allier, Puy-de-Dôme and Loire. It is one of those French vineyards that date back to the Gallo-Roman era. Five Crus are spread along a north-south axis, 70 km long and 30 km wide. The soils are granitic and sandy, with a presence of volcanic rocks and basalt. Grape varieties for the red wines: Gamay and Pinot Noir. For the white wines: chardonnay, tressalier, aligoté, sauvignon. The great diversity of the terroirs contributes to the (exciting) typicity of the Auvergne natural wine.

Auvergne wines: French heritage
Auvergne wines have been part of our heritage since...? Did you say "the Gallo-Roman era"? Yes, and the Saint-Pourçain appellation is a perfect example. The vineyard of this wine was planted by the Romans, preserved by the Benedictine monks, then protected by the Bourbon family, a great and very old French aristocratic family. The Auvergne vines are planted on a crystalline, granite subsoil of the Massif Central. The terroirs and tastes are therefore extremely varied.
