Loire Valley
Written By Philippa Kelly
The Loire Wine Region in France is a picturesque landscape that winds along the banks of the Loire River. The Loire Valley’s cool continental climate, tempered by maritime influences, allows for the cultivation that produces a wide range of grape varieties, both white and red, with notable emphasis on Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, and Cabernet Franc. From the crisp and aromatic whites of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé in the Upper Loire to the elegant Chenin Blancs of Vouvray and the vibrant Cabernet Francs of Chinon and Saumur-Champigny in the Middle Loire, the region offers a diverse spectrum of wines to suit every palate
