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.
