Côte Roannaise
Côte Roannaise is one of the southernmost vineyards in the Loire Valley, not far from the source of the river. Within the Côte Roannaise appellation, Domaine des Pothiers is particularly noteworthy.

The vineyards of Côte Roannaise are located on hillsides overlooking the Loire and forming the foothills of the Massif Central. The vineyards of Côte Roannaise are confidential, with just over 200 hectares of vines planted on the best slopes, between 400 and 500 meters above sea level.

The Côte Roannaise soils are very sandy and draining, of granite origin. They are ideally suited to the appellation's typical grape variety: Gamay Saint-Romain. Some of the more clayey plots are devoted to Chardonnay. The quality and uniqueness of the wines from this terroir led to their classification as AOC Côte Roannaise in 1994.
