Discovering the wine region of Auvergne

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. The overriding Character of the Auvergne is the diversity of its landscapes and the variations in topography, which translate quite directly into local wine styles. The higher altitude - most Auvergne vineyards are between 400 and 500 metres - and continental Climate mean that average annual temperatures are significantly lower than in neighbouring Burgundy and the famously hot Rhone Valley. This results in less Dense and less structured wines.

Discover the grape variety: Cabernet franc

Cabernet Franc is one of the oldest red grape varieties in Bordeaux. The Libourne region is its terroir where it develops best. The terroirs of Saint-Emilion and Fronsac allow it to mature and develop its best range of aromas. It is also the majority in many blends. The very famous Château Cheval Blanc, for example, uses 60% Cabernet Franc. The wines produced with Cabernet Franc are medium in colour with fine tannins and subtle aromas of small red fruits and spices. When blended with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, it brings complexity and a bouquet of aromas to the wine. It produces fruity wines that can be drunk quite quickly, but whose great vintages can be kept for a long time. It is an earlier grape variety than Cabernet Sauvignon, which means that it is planted as far north as the Loire Valley. In Anjou, it is also used to make sweet rosé wines. Cabernet Franc is now used in some twenty countries in Europe and throughout the world.
