Volcanic AOC of the Massif Central (2011, 267 ha across 53 communes) on hillsides and slopes of the puys at 350–500 m bordering the Limagne: Gamay signature (70%) on basalts and granites producing fruity, mineral reds; Pinot Noir (20%) as complement; rare Chardonnay. Bright ruby colour, nose of red fruits, spices and volcanic earthy notes. Lively palate with fine tannins and ardent minerality from ash, lava and basaltic deposits — pure volcanic freshness and typicity.
