The wine region of Valençay
AOC of the Berry-Touraine (2003), the only appellation sharing its name with a cheese: reds (>50%) led by Gamay (30–60%) with Pinot Noir (10%) and Côt (10%) — sustained ruby, dark fruits, easy-drinking palate with spicy notes. Whites with Sauvignon (≥70%) completed by Chardonnay and Orbois — exotic fruit aromas and flint minerality as a signature. Rosés (12%) with optional Pineau d'Aunis. "Perruche" soils (clay-flint), sandy-gravelly terrains.
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: Draft liquor (champagne)
After blending, the wine is bottled with a liqueur de tirage (a mixture of sugar and wine) and a yeast (selected yeasts). The yeast attacks the sugar and creates carbon dioxide. The fermentation, which lasts about two months, is prolonged by an ageing period (15 months minimum in total). The bottle is capped (some rare vintages are capped with a staple and a cork).
