The wine region of Puy-de-Dome
Volcanic Auvergne IGP at the heart of the Chaîne des Puys (basalts, pumice, red clays and pebbles): Gamay signature red king (~80%) — more tannic, spicy and floral (iris, violet) profile than in Beaujolais, contained nerviness preserved. Pinot Noir complementary signature — delicately liquorice notes, lightness and singular dynamism in difficult climate. Alternative grapes outside AOC Côtes d'Auvergne, slow minerality from volcanic soils.
The wine region of Val de Loire
France's most diverse vineyard, 800 km along the Loire (~48,300 ha). Flagship whites: lively, mineral Sauvignon from Sancerre-Pouilly (citrus, boxwood, gunflint), Loire Chenin from vibrant dry to noble sweet wines (quince, honey, taut acidity), Melon de Bourgogne of saline Muscadet on lees. Cabernet Franc reds (Chinon, Bourgueil, Saumur-Champigny): raspberry, bell pepper, graphite, silky tannins. Sparkling Cremants with brioche-apple notes.
The word of the wine: Pinot meunier
Cultivated in the 19th century in all the northern vineyards, this black grape variety has largely regressed since. Very present in the Marne valley, it constitutes a third of the vineyards in Champagne, alongside pinot noir and chardonnay with which it is often blended. It brings roundness and red and yellow fruit aromas to champagnes. Pinot meunier is also the dominant grape variety in red and rosé wines in the Orleans AOC and the rare Touraine-Noble-Joué, a grey wine. Syn.: meunier.
