Puy-de-Dome
Volcanic soils and altitude conspire in the Puy-de-Dôme to sharpen reds built on Pinot Noir and Gamay, where cool nights preserve acidity that lesser Loire sites struggle to achieve. The region's rosés and whites gain mineral edge from basalt bedrock, making restraint—not ripeness—the defining ambition.
