The wine region of Coteaux du Loir
Coteaux du Loir blanc is a still white wine produced in the vineyards of the Loire, in the west of France and more precisely in the wine region of Touraine. Administratively, Coteaux du Loir blanc can be produced in the dePartments of Sarthe and Indre-et-Loire. Its Terroir benefits from a temperate Climate with an oceanic influence and degraded oceanic soils of chalk tuffeau, clay-limestone and flinty clay. The "Chenin B" grape variety is the only one that can be used to make white Coteaux du Loir wine.
The wine region of Loire Valley
The Loire Valley is a key wine region in western France. It follows the course of the Loire River on its Long journey through the heart of France, from the inland hills of the Auvergne to the plains of the French Atlantic coast near Nantes (Muscadet country). Important in terms of quantity and quality, the region produces large quantities (about 4 million h/l each year) of everyday wines, as well as some of France's greatest wines. Diversity is another of the region's major assets; the styles of wine produced here range from the light, tangy Muscadet to the Sweet, honeyed Bonnezeaux, the Sparkling whites of Vouvray and the juicy, Tannic reds of Chinon and Saumur.
The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
