Marcillac AOC, Wine appellation in Marcillac-Vallon, France
The Marcillac AOC wine region covers 200 hectares of terraced vineyards on red clay soils rich in iron oxides near the Lot river in Aveyron department.
The vineyards originated over a millennium ago under the Abbey of Conques, followed by significant expansion during the 18th century industrial period in Decazeville.
The wines pair naturally with regional specialties including aligot, tripoux, and local cheeses such as Roquefort and Cantal from the Aveyron department.
The Fer Servadou grape, known locally as Mansois, represents 90 percent of plantings and requires specific cultivation techniques on the steep terraced slopes.
The region features natural cirque formations around Albinie, where iron-rich red earth and limestone soils contribute distinct mineral characteristics to the wines.
