Vins de la Corrèze is the dePartmental Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) covering all wines produced in the department of Corrèze, in CentralFrance. Traditionally, Corrèze wine is made from grapes Dried on mats, which concentrates the sugars and produces a Rich, Sweet wine. The department is dominated by the Massif Central - the low mountain range that covers much of south-eastern France - and as such is not well suited to viticulture. There are no overlapping AOP appellations and only a small amount of wine is produced here, mainly in the lower south-western part of the department.
The IGP Vin de la Corrèze law allows wine produced to certain standards to be labelled as Vin Paille, or "straw wine". These wines, which come mainly from the vicinity of the villages of Meyssac and Queyssac, are made primarily from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon for the red wines, and Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc for the white wines. Corrèze is located about 150 kilometres from the Atlantic coast and the vineyards of Bordeaux, and has a continental Climate with cold winters and hot summers. In the more mountainous parts of the region, this climate is too extreme for viticulture.
