Saint-Pourçain

Make the most of your stay in our hotel to discover Allier and its vineyards. The best-known of these is without doubt Saint-Pourçain. It has existed since antiquity. In the 13^th century, it was already being served to kings of France and popes in Avignon. Today, the vineyard extends all around the town of Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule, on the left bank of Allier between Chemilly, to the north, and Chantelle, to the south. The main varieties of grape are Gamay and Pinot Noir for reds and rosés, and Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Tressalier for whites. Visit the many wine-cellars to discover the secrets of how this wine (which was awarded its own AOC certificate in 2009) is made, and treat yourself to a tasting session.
