Light, fruity wines from gravel soils, more structured and mineral tuffeau wines suited to ageing. Also lively rosés and rare Chenin whites. Touraine AOC west of Tours, one of France's northernmost red appellations, from everyday to age-worthy bottles.

The word of the wine: Champagne rosé
Often obtained by adding red wines (from Champagne), it is even the only vineyard where this practice is allowed. Some producers prefer the practice used in other regions, i.e. a short maceration to extract sufficient colouring matter. This results in winey rosés for meals. Elegant aperitif rosé is more often made from red wine coloured Chardonnay. Rosés can be vintage or non vintage.
