Loire Valley

The Loire is France's most varied wine region, following the river from the Atlantic coast inland for hundreds of miles. Each stretch has its own grape: bone-dry Muscadet near the sea, Chenin Blanc in the middle reaches making everything from sparkling to sweet, Cabernet Franc reds around Chinon, and crisp Sauvignon Blanc at the eastern end in Sancerre and Pouilly-Fume.

Our Loire wines include:

  • Sancerre and Pouilly-Fume — mineral Sauvignon Blanc
  • Vouvray and Savennieres — Chenin Blanc, dry to sweet
  • Chinon and Bourgueil — fresh, savory Cabernet Franc
  • Muscadet — crisp, saline seafood whites

A source of food-friendly wines and strong values, the Loire is home to many low-intervention growers, and our selection spans its whole range of styles.
