Auvergne – quiet volcanoes and lively wines

In this article I focus on the Auvergne region, which I visited for the first time at the end of January.

Next week I will be writing about the recent success of a group of Auvergne producers in organising the first-ever international volcanic wine fair and describing a similar number of wines produced on volcanic soils around the world. For a discussion of what we might mean by ‘volcanic soils’, see my earlier article Volcanic wines – fact or fiction.
