St-Yorre naturally sparkling mineral water

St-Yorre is a prestigious French brand of naturally carbonated mineral water, renowned for its exceptionally high mineral content, particularly bicarbonates. The water is sourced from the 'Source Royale' in the town of Saint-Yorre, located in the Allier department within the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. This geographical area is part of the Vichy basin, a volcanic territory that imparts a unique saline profile and robust mouthfeel to the water.

The history of the brand dates back to 1850 when Nicolas Larbaud, a pharmacist, discovered the properties of the natural springs on his property. By 1859, he founded the first company to exploit these waters. Today, the brand is owned by the Groupe Alma (Sources Alma), one of the leading mineral water producers in Europe. The product remains a staple of French dining culture, often consumed to aid digestion due to its rich bicarbonate composition.
