France - the Loire Valley

A huge area from the mouth of the Loire at Nantes into the Atlantic and up to the Massif Central and the Centre of France wth a wide range of wines beyond the traditional Cabernet Franc reds and Chenin Blanc whites.

The Loire Valley is known for producing all kinds of wine styles in a range of sweetness levels. Easy-drinking Muscadet is extremely popular, traditional method sparkling wine is a fantastic alternative to Champagne and its reds made from Cabernet Franc are criminally underrated.

The region is famed for producing Chenin Blanc in a range of sweetness levels, as well as crisp, smoky Sauvignon Blanc, the best examples of which are found in the Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé appellations. It’s a favourite region among wine lovers in the know – quality can be found at all price points and there’s a wine style for any palate.
