Vignoble des Vernusses
In the volcanic soils of Auvergne, the Vignoble des Vernusses cultivates Gamay and Pinot Noir with a delicate touch, making the most of these dark soils. The wines exhibit a subtle tension and vibrant fruit, often accompanied by a powdery texture characteristic of the region. The winemaking process emphasizes infusion over extraction, resulting in refined, elegant reds with a subtly mineral character. The whites are rounder but retain a fresh character. A winery contributing to the resurgence of Auvergne winemaking.
