Wines and spirits Cantal

Founded in 1908, Maison Couderc is a recipe for success with gentian alcohol, the emblematic plant of the Auvergne mountains. It is the last independent distillery in the Cantal. Its shop offers the house products, in particular the gold-coloured Couderc gentian, but also a very wide range of liqueurs, spirits and wines. Its large bay windows also reveal a beautiful section of delicatessen and good regional products. This is normal, as the owner is an epicurean.

A beautiful shop to discover in the heart of Saint-Flour. Don't try to trap Thomas Viaud on a grape variety or a vintage, it's almost impossible because the man is so passionate. So let yourself be carried away by his advice to accompany your dishes or embellish your invitations. Depending on the situation, your desires or your tastes, he will offer you beautiful surprises without any preconceived ideas about this or that region. On the wooden shelves, small producers rub shoulders with the big houses. The Cave du Palais also offers a very good choice of whiskies and... teas.

The Maison Desprat has been associated with a passion for wine since 1885. Pierre Desprat, with his two daughters Léa and Lucie, continues the family adventure and makes it a point of honour to advise and help people discover the wines of the Auvergne volcanic soil. To do this, a wide range of wines is offered in his shop. Alongside the local beverages, we find all the French and foreign wine regions. Beer, spirits and local aperitifs are also presented. A corner dedicated to delicatessen completes the offer.

The 360 Brewery is open to visitors and offers an insight into the world of brewing and the Cantalien region. The visitor is invited to go down into the production area to understand how beer is born. The visit is accompanied by a tasting. Here, the desire is to defend a quality beer and the values of the Cantalien region. The choice is therefore made to use cereals from the Auvergne and water gushing from ancient volcanoes. The range extends from white, blond or amber beers to red or triple brown beers. With moderation !
