Monsieur Bardon produces red and white wines from the lesser known appellation
Valençay, also known for its Chateau, with the unusual combination of Chardonnay and Sauvignon and a Touraine, Les Demoiselles, made with 100% Sauvignon. His newest creation is the 'Fie Gris' called Les Precieuses. Fie Gris is a grape said to be the ancestor of Sauvignon, and produces a fascinating new tasting experience with a distinctly different taste from the classic Sauvignon.
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.
Found right in the centre of the Loire Valley, midway between the Atlantic coast and the Massif Central, Touraine is one of the Loire's largest appellations, extending over 5,300 hectares. Its mild climate has long earned the area the nickname 'the garden of France', providing perfect conditions for a wide range of wines. Rather than focusing on a single style, Touraine produces everything from light, fruity reds and zingy dry whites to sweet dessert wines and sparkling versions in between.
