From Nantes to Sancerre the Loire Valley produces wines that chime with the wine zeitgeist, all about terroir and regionality rather than oak and homogeneity.
Outside Nantes itself lie the vineyards of the Muscadet sur lie appellation. Much of the wine made there is innocuous and unmemorable, however small artisanal producers are bucking the trend, making savoury thirst-slaking wines. Further east, around the town of Vouvray Chenin Blanc is King and although some excellent dry wines are made, it is the sweet wines of estates like Huet that really hit the high notes. Probably the most famous Loire whites are the Sauvignons of Sancerre and Pouilly-sur-Loire.
Loire reds, made usually from Cabernet Franc are centred on Chinon, Bourgeuil and Saumur-Champigny. While further inland delicious pure red Sancerre shows another aspect of the many facetted Pinot Noir.
