Listán Negro and a bit of Listán Blanco from three north-facing parcels of centenarian piè franco vines in the La Corujera area

Domaine des Berioles Saint Pourcain Le Rouge d'Ici et d'Ailleurs 2021 Vintage:2021 Listán Negro and a bitSaint Pourain is a small growing region not very far from the geographic center of France, with vineyards planted along the banks of the Allier River, which shortly joins the Loire on its long journey north and west to the Atlantic. Once a region with thousands of hectares of vines, Saint Pourain was never particularly prestigious, so after the phylloxera louse swept through, there werent very many growers with the stomach to replant their vineyards.
