4. Loire Valley

The long stretch of vineyards along the Loire River contributes to a wide range of wine styles. The Loire’s cooler climate results in fresh, high-acid wines. The Loire Valley has a diverse wine production including crisp whites like Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, and Chenin Blanc from Vouvray.

Red wines are also produced, mainly from Cabernet Franc in areas like Chinon. Sparkling wines from Saumur are also popular.
