The Loire Valley (Val de Loire) is France’s third most important winemaking region and is included in UNESCO’s World Heritage List (from Chalonnes-sur-Loire to Sully-sur-Loire). It is a land of balance between North and South, smooth and crisp freshness, art and literature, tradition and modernity.
These harmonious blends, enhanced by a mild climate and rich terroirs, help to produce a vibrant, diversity of wines.
