Auvergne is an administrative region in south-CentralFrance. It is dominated by the foothills and low mountains of the Massif Central. The typical red wine of these central French vineyards is a light red or rosé wine, produced from Gamay grapes and vinified by carbonic Maceration. The Côte Roannaise and Côtes du Forez both specialise in this style, made famous by the Beaujolais just to the east.
The whites are mainly based on Chardonnay, although there is still some production of whites from Sacy (Tresallier), mainly in Saint-Pourcain.
