Wines from Loire Valley
The Loire runs the whole gamut: Sancerre's stony Sauvignon Blanc, taut Chenin, elegant Cabernet Franc, all with the freshness that makes them some of France's most food-friendly wines. There's a lot of quiet value along this river.
About Loire Valley
The Loire runs most of the way across France, so it is less a style than a collection of them: taut Sauvignon Blanc in the east, Chenin in the middle, light reds and salty Muscadet as you approach the Atlantic.
What unites them is freshness. These are wines built on acidity rather than weight, which makes them some of the most useful bottles on any table.
