Protected Designation of Origin Red Wine AOC

The Protected Designation of Origin (AOC) Saint-Pourçain in the Auvergne region is a distinguished wine protected by its geographical origin and specific characteristics. This appellation covers a well-defined geographical area that encompasses 19 municipalities in the heart of the Bourbon bocage, on either side of Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule, and the grape varieties are Gamay and Pinot Noir.

The wine history of Saint-Pourçain dates back to Antiquity, and its vineyard is said to be even older than that planted by the Romans. This wine, which Saint Louis served at his royal table, enjoyed a flattering reputation. Even the popes of Avignon appreciated it, despite the high transportation costs, receiving between 60 and 120 hectoliters per year. Although in the 18th century the vineyard covered more than eight thousand hectares, cereal crops, phylloxera, and other factors have considerably reduced its extent since the 19th century.
