The Côtes du Forez vineyard is located on the first volcanic slopes of the Massif Central, in the Loire department. Today, the vineyard covers nearly 150 hectares and 17 communes: Boën, Leigneux, Trelins, Marcoux, Marcilly-le-Châtel, Pralong, Arthun, Bussy-Albieux, Champdieu, Ecotay l'Olme, Lézigneux, Moingt-Montbrison, Saint-Georges-Haute-Ville, Saint-Sixte, Saint-Thomas-la-Garde, Sainte-Agathe-la-Bouteresse and Saint-Germain-Laval. There are 9 winegrowers and 1 cooperative cellar producing in the Côtes du Forez appellation.
This original and still little-known appellation is essentially made up of two types of soil: basaltic mounds of volcanic origin, which are among the oldest volcanoes in France, and a granitic soil, resulting from the erosion of the Massif Central.
Because of its suitability to the terroir and climatology, the Gamay Saint Romain black grape variety with white juice is perfectly adapted to this region. Selected for centuries, this grape variety arrives at perfect maturity, each year, on the appellation and expresses the incredible qualities of Gamay.
