Chez nous, the wine is divine !
Saint-Pourçain, the oldest vineyard in France.
More than a vineyard, it is the whole history of France that was marked by Saint-Pourçain. Established by Gallo-Romans, served at the tables of Kings of France and Popes in Avignon, the reputation Saint-Pourçain wines is well established.
Whether they are white, rosé or red, they are smooth, fresh and subtly marked by fruits. Exclusively planted in the Saint-Pourçain vineyard, assembles with Chardonnay, the Tressallier grape variety brings a real typicality to our white wines, marked by notes of citrus and white flowers. On the red side, the wines come from Pinot Noir and Gamay, perfectly suited to our terroir .They can be tasted in their youth or be forgotten for a few years in a cellar. But to better appreciate our wines, nothing is better than the pleasure of a tasting in Saint-Pourçain cellars.
