LOIRE
Pouilly-Fumé
Sancerre
Loire is a very exciting region where white, red, dry, sweet and sparkling
wines are produced. Some of the wines from Loire are world famous
and some are the best kept secrets in the world of wine.
Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé are familiar names to most wine lovers.
Made from the grape variety Sauvignon Blanc, these white wines are
crisp and refreshing with aromas of gooseberries, lime and minerals.
Though Pouilly-Fumé can only produce white wine, the Sancerre
region also produces light reds and rosés made with the Pinot Noir
grape. Typically, these wines are best drunk young and not made for
ageing. Further west in Touraine, there is another white wine producing
appellation called Vouvray, using the grape Chenin Blanc, which makes
fantastic wines with great ageing potential.
