The wine region of Val de Loire
France's most diverse vineyard, 800 km along the Loire (~48,300 ha). Flagship whites: lively, mineral Sauvignon from Sancerre-Pouilly (citrus, boxwood, gunflint), Loire Chenin from vibrant dry to noble sweet wines (quince, honey, taut acidity), Melon de Bourgogne of saline Muscadet on lees. Cabernet Franc reds (Chinon, Bourgueil, Saumur-Champigny): raspberry, bell pepper, graphite, silky tannins. Sparkling Cremants with brioche-apple notes.
The word of the wine: Filling
Gentle transfer from one barrel to another to oxygenate the wine, eliminate some of the lees and reduce the carbon dioxide (fizz) that was released during the fermentations.
