Loire Valley Wines

Rarer than its white counterpart, Sancerre Rouge is some of the finest Pinot Noir produced in France.

Although Denis Meunier is only in his late 20s, his small domain is one of the most old-school in Vouvray.

To capture the definitive elements of Sancerre, we went to the best-selling name in the region.

Deep red in color with a nose of black cherries, blackberries and currant kissed with a touch of praline.. The palate is sweet and slightly spicy with fine tannins and a silky finish.

Domaine Patureaux is boutique winemaking at its best.

Touraine's where you'll find the best-value Sauvignon Blanc in France.

Eric Laurent, one of Saumur's top winemakers, makes Le Bois Doré from Chenin Blanc on 30-year-old vines.

It's not just Beaujolais that can lay claim to terrific Gamay.

Throughout its 169 years of history, Bouvet has been endorsed by Napoleon III and chosen as official supplier to the House of Lords.

This French Chenin Blanc is drier and fruitier than those you'd find in South Africa.

This Gamay-based Rosé is proof that Touraine's more than just Sauvignon.

Made from 25-year-old vines by one of the oldest, most respected wineries in the Loire Valley, it's complex, dry and full of stone fruits.
