Loire Valley

France's longest river forms the heart of the Loire Valley—one of the country's most diverse and underrated wine regions. Known as "the garden of France," Loire wines are typically enjoyed in France rather than exported overseas. A long, meandering valley, the Loire offers a wide range of climates and soils, giving an eclectic selection of white, red, rosé and sparkling wines to discover. It is divided into three sections: the Lower Loire, known for its Muscadet; Middle Loire, dominated by Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc; and Upper Loire, known for Sauvignon Blanc-based wines. Look toward Pouilly-Fumé for subtly smoky Sauvignon Blanc, Vouvray for sweet sparkling Chenin Blanc and Saumur-Champigny for floral reds crafted from Cabernet Franc.
