The incredible variety of Loire wines

The Loire Valley, often referred to as the “Garden of France”, is a veritable paradise for wine lovers. Each of the Loire’s wine-growing regions has its own identity.

Grape varieties and landscapes

White wines

Among Loire wines, white wines take pride of place, with renowned crus such as Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, made from the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety. These wines are distinguished by their finesse and lively aromas of citrus fruit and white flowers. Further west, Chenin Blanc reigns supreme. It gives rise to Vouvray and Montlouis, wines that can be dry, sweet or sparkling, depending on the winemaker’s expertise.

Red wines

The red wines of the Loire are not to be outdone. There are appellations such as Chinon, Bourgueil and Saumur-Champigny, where Cabernet Franc expresses all its complexity. Lovers of lighter wines will be delighted by the wines of Anjou and Touraine.

Not to mention sparkling wines like Crémant de Loire, which rival the finest champagnes. A stay at our campsite in Indre-et-Loire is also an opportunity to enjoy unique wine tourism experiences in the Loire Valley. A visit to the troglodyte caves dug into the tuffeau stone is a perfect example.

Here, you can visit while pedaling… or while tasting

Orange wines

The increasingly popular orange wines of the Loire region are made using an ancestral method that involves macerating white grapes with their skins, as for red wines. This technique gives the wine an amber color and a unique aromatic complexity, combining notes of dried fruit, citrus and spices.

In the Loire region, grape varieties such as Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc are often used to produce these distinctive wines. Loire winemakers adopt this approach to offer innovative orange wines that seduce with their freshness and delicate tannic structure, enriching the region’s viticultural diversity.
