The wine region of Loire Valley
Kingdom of lively, dry whites and fine sparklers. Mineral, taut Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé) with citrus and gunflint notes. Multiform Chenin Blanc (Vouvray, Savennières, Layon): straight dry, floral off-dry or noble sweet honey-quince. Saline, iodised Muscadet (Melon B.
The word of the wine: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
