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: Aging on lees

Maturing on the lees enhances the stability, aromatic complexity and texture of white wines, which gain in body and volume. This phenomenon is induced by autolysis, the process of self-degradation of the lees.
