Everything You Need to Know About Côtes d'Auvergne
The Côtes d'Auvergne is a low-key wine region in the heart of the Massif Central, around Clermont-Ferrand. On volcanic soils of basalt and granite, Auvergne winemakers produce wines of rare originality and minerality.
Gamay dominates the red wines, which are light and fruity, with a characteristic alpine freshness. The five terroirs of the Côtes d'Auvergne—Boudes, Chanturgue, Châteaugay, Corent, and Madargue—each offer a unique expression of this volcanic vineyard.
