Loire

With 2,000 years of history featuring kings'castles and fortresses, the Loire Valley is home to 31 appelations, starting in the Muscadet to the west near the Atlantic Ocean, passing by Chinon, Vouvray and the Touraine in the middle, to end to the famous village of Sancerre, located all the way to the East. This region cultivates 24 grape varietals which offer a very diverse tasting and culinary experience. From mineral whites such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc or Melon de Bourgogne (aka grape use in Muscadet) to light and spicy reds, such as Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir or Gamay. It is also France's third largest wine growing region, featuring a temperate climate and diverse terroirs influenced by the Atlantic ocean and the proximity of the Loire river. Enjoy white loire wines with goat cheese or seafood, and the reds with spicy cuisine and vegeterian dishes.
