About Loire
The Loire Valley wine region follows the river from Muscadet near Nantes, on the Atlantic, to Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé south-east of Orléans. Anjou, Saumur, Bourgueil, Chinon and Vouvray lie in between. It has 87 AOC and IGP appellations. Most of the wine is white, from Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Melon de Bourgogne, while Cabernet Franc makes the reds of Chinon and its neighbours. The region also makes rosé, sweet wines and plenty of Crémant, making it France's second sparkling region after Champagne. Loire wines are typically fruity, fresh and crisp. In the Middle Ages its wines were prized in England and France.
