French Wine Regions
Located in the Massif Central mountain range, the Auvergne wine region lies in central France. The area produces a wide variety of wines over a sizable area of over 3,000 hectares.
Possibly no French wine region is as complex and diverse as the Loire Valley. The roughly 185,000 acres of planted vines represent 87 designated appellations, a motley assortment of unique geographical areas, soil types, climates, winemaking styles, and grape varietals.
Beaujolais, a distinct wine growing region historically considered the southernmost section of Burgundy, is internationally renowned in its own right for the production of high-quality, vibrant red wines produced from the Gamay grape.
