“Vignes et vins de Loire, des terroirs et des hommes”

Either through excessive modesty or lack of communication, the wines of the Loire Valley, although produced in France’s third largest winegrowing area after Bordeaux and Burgundy, have not yet managed to acquire the renown of certain other French crus. 

The wines of the Loire are not unlike the monks, kings and peasants that made the area famous in the Middle Ages. It is a court of miracles with its own ancestry, branches and etiquette. As in the family tree of a great dynasty, their origins are caught up in a complex tangle, rooted in 800 km of terroirs and 69 appellations.
