Loire

Along the longest river in France, a diversity of terroir unfolds, ranging from the salty breezes of Muscadet to the chalky slopes of Sancerre. Here, cool freshness and distinctive minerality define the wines, with Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc finding their most precise expression. Estates such as Claude Riffault and Luneau-Papin capture this vibrancy, bringing an elegance to the glass that speaks of austere structure and profound provenance.
