Loire Valley
A couple of hours drive south of Paris, and to the west of Burgundy, the wine region of the Loire Valley is one of the most diverse in France. The quality of Loire wine is often overlooked, but they can offer serious value and are renowned for their classy style and fresh flavours. Starting on the Atlantic Coast in the city of Nantes, the region winds its way 300 miles up the Loire River through green, rural land to the pretty villages of the Upper Loire. The scattered nature of the appellations of the Loire host a wide range of soils and climatic conditions for making wine. The climate is cool, and the wines typically have fresh acidity and clean, pure flavours. Appellations of note include Touraine, Sancerre, Muscadet, Pouilly-Fume and Saumur-Champigny. The Loire's 4000 wineries produce a diverse range of wines across all three colours alongside sparkling Cremant de Loire and golden, sticky sweet wines. Most famously, the Loire is known for white wines made from Sauvignon Blanc, Melon de Bourgogne and Chenin Blanc, while Cabernet Franc is the Loire's most famous red export.

Touraine
Located in the very centre of the Loire Valley wine region, around the city of Tours, Touraine is a wine area producing a diverse range of wines. There is a generic Touraine regional appellation title, used for wines across the region, which may be still or sparkling and red, white or rose, reflecting the diverse output. Higher quality areas have their own appellation within Touraine, and the most notable of these include Vouvray and Montlouis for white wines and Chinon and Bourgueil for reds. Vouvray and Montlouis produce their wines from Chenin Blanc, and they can be both crisp and dry, or unctuous, nutty and sweet. The reds of Chinon and Bourgueil are typically made from Cabernet Franc and are silky, spicy and full of life. The soils in the region range from alluvial river gravels to the unique porous metamorphic rock, tuffeau, an important geological factor in the distinct styles of wine produced in Touraine.

Grape Variety
Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc
Originating in Bordeaux, Sauvignon Blanc has now established itself in many of the world‘s wine regions, producing a crisp, dry, and refreshing white varietal wine with a distinct flavour profile. The most well-known examples come from Sancerre and Pouilly Fume in the Loire Valley, and from Marlborough in New Zealand where a grassy, herbaceous style is produced. In Bordeaux it is blended with Semillon to make the sweet wines of Sauternes, and crisp dry wines that can be as excellent as they are expensive.
