Region and Appellation Information

Region – Loire

The Loire is France's longest river, running almost 400km from the Massif Central westwards to the Atlantic, and gives its name to one of the country's most diverse wine regions. Spanning some 57,000 hectares across Loire-Atlantique, Anjou-Saumur, Touraine, and the Centre, it produces the full range of styles - fresh, light whites from Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc, elegant reds and rosés from Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, and Gamay, plus sweet and sparkling wines. Its western vineyards enjoy a maritime Atlantic climate, while the more easterly Centre is cooler and continental, and its chalky limestone soils help the wines retain their signature freshness and acidity. Home to 69 appellations, including the famous Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, the Loire offers something to please every palate.

Appellation – Saumur-Champigny

One of the Loire Valley's finest red-wine appellations, made around the historic town of Saumur from the region's leading grape, Cabernet Franc. Created in 1957, it covers 1,500 hectares of clay and limestone (tuffeau) slopes ideal for the variety, with wines often bottled as 100% Cabernet Franc or blended with a little Cabernet Sauvignon and Pineau d'Aunis. Compared with Bordeaux, Loire Cabernet Franc shows higher acidity and tarter fruit, giving wines that are fresh, elegant, and wonderfully food-friendly.
