Label "Vineyards and Discoveries"

"Côtes d'Auvergne, Destination volcans": the region has just been awarded the Vignobles et Découvertes label by Atout France (March 2022). It is the 12th region in Auvergne Rhône-Alpes out of 72 in France to receive the label.
On the slopes of the dormant volcanoes of the Chaîne des Puys - Limagne fault, a UNESCO World Heritage site, vines have been grown here for hundreds of years. Here, it takes root between basalt, granite and clay-limestone soils, giving life to wines with their characteristic multiple tonalities.
It's this singularity that led to the choice of the name "Côtes d'Auvergne Destination volcans", conveying meaning, links and human values for a territory that defines itself as a land of welcome around volcanism.
Here, nature expeditions, thermalism and generous gastronomy are combined with a rich medieval and archaeological heritage.
