Loire Valley

The Loire Valley is one of the largest and most interesting wine regions in France, located west of Burgundy: here, viticulture is practiced right along the namesake river. Various types of wines are produced, including whites, reds, rosés, sparkling wines, and even sweet wines. The Loire is especially famous for its excellent white wines, particularly from Sauvignon and Chenin Blanc grapes, though it also has a noteworthy production of red wines, mainly based on Cabernet Franc and Gamay.
The Loire Valley is also famous for Muscadet, a wine renowned for its ideal pairing with shellfish, made from the Melon de Bourgogne grape, which is called Muscadet in this region.

The climate in the Loire Valley is generally quite cool; both the temperature and the latitude place the region almost at the limit for the survival and cultivation of vines. This results in a particularly low sugar content in the grapes, producing wines that are light, low in alcohol, and characterized by high acidity. When barrels are used for maturation, the outcome includes robust wines with toasted notes, features that differ from what can be considered the classic styles of the region.

The region stretches along the course of the Loire River, the longest in France. The most suitable areas start from the cities of Nevers, Bourges, and Orléans. From these territories come the most famous wines of the region: AOCs such as Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, Vouvray, Savennières, Quarts de Chaume, Montlouis, Chinon, Bourgueil, Menetou-Salon, and Muscadet. The most important area of the Loire Valley is in the north, itself divided into three zones: one more westerly, near the Atlantic coast (around Nantes), where the AOC Muscadet is found, a central one with the AOCs Anjou-Saumur and Touraine, and an eastern one (south of Orléans), with the AOCs Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. The production in the two outer areas focuses on white wines, while in the central area the production is varied, with whites, reds, rosés, sparkling wines, and sweet wines made from grapes affected by Botrytis Cinerea. The Loire Valley also has a vast area of Vin de Pays production.

Anjou-Saumur

The areas of the Loire Valley recognized as AOC (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée) include the northern region, divided into three zones: the western zone with AOC Muscadet, the central zone with AOC Anjou-Saumur and Touraine, and the eastern zone with AOC Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. The outer areas focus on white wines, while the central zone offers a variety of white, red, rosé, sparkling, and sweet wines. The southern part produces white, rosé, and red wines. The Loire Valley also has a vast area of Vin de Pays production, belonging to the Vin de Pays du Jardin de la France denomination.

Anjou-Saumur is renowned for its rosé wines, but its whites, particularly the Chenin Blanc from Savennières, are also appreciated for their minerality, freshness, and longevity. The Quarts de Chaumée denomination produces elegant sweet wines thanks to Botrytis Cinerea. Other quality sweet wines come from Bonnezeaux, Coteaux de Layon, and Coteaux de l’Aubance. Anjou-Saumur is also known for its sparkling wines made using the Champenois method.
Land of mineral and long-lived wines
