ASSOCIATION LOIRE VOLCANIQUE

The Loire Volcanique Association, created in 2019, brings together 39 winegrowers united by their desire to promote the exceptional terroirs of the Massif Central. Between them, they cover the wine-growing territories of the Auvergne, Forez, Roannais and Saint-Pourçain. 7 winegrowers of the AOC Côtes d'Auvergne are part of it. The Loire Volcanique is above all a group of friendly winegrowers who work together, imbued with common values. Loire Volcanique is also the sign of the renewal of this unique terroir with a semi-continental climate, vines at altitude (between 200 and 600 metres) and the Foehn effect which softens the climate and acts as a barrier to rainfall. If the idea at first was to make itself known locally and above all to have the Volcanic Loire recognized as a region in its own right within the Loire Valley, today the association is multiplying its interventions and events in order to obtain international recognition.
