Loire Valley Wines
The Loire Valley,
known as the "Garden of France," is one of the most diverse and exciting wine regions in the world. Stretching along the Loire River, it produces mostly a vast range of French white wines that vary in style from crisp and mineral-driven to rich and complex.
The Loire Valley wine regions
offer an array of splendid white wines. Crisp, zesty, and mineral-driven whites from Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, through to light-bodied, bone-dry, and highly refreshing Muscadet whites. More affordable white wines can be discovered in the Tourraine region which are fresh, aromatic, and fruit-driven, great for everyday drinking.
Loire Valley red wines
tend to be lighter-bodied, fresh, and food-friendly, mostly made from Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir and Gamay.
