The Loire Valley vineyard characteristics
With a dozen grape varieties, the Loire Valley expresses the nuances of its rich subsoil. To preserve this diversity, two major climates (western ocean influence and continental influence eastward) share the vineyard in two parts. The chemistry between climate, grape variety and winemakers’ know-how gives the Loire Valley wines incomparable finesse and elegance, perfect balance.
Surface area: over 70 000 hectares.
Production: 2 million hectoliters of wine produced annually, of which about 36% is white, 29% rosé, 20% red and 15% sparkling.
Outstanding Appellations:
Chinon, Bourgueil, Pouilly-Fumé, Sancerre, Bonnezeaux, Coteaux du Layon, Savennières, Muscadet, Vouvray, Cheverny, Saint-Pourçain, …
