    Museum of Contemporary Art Joins the Great Heritage Sites of the Loire Valley

    Press release Montsoreau, December 29, 2020 The Château de Montsoreau - Museum of Contemporary Art joins the Great Heritage Sites of the Loire Valley. Five years after its opening to the public, the Château de Montsoreau- Museum of contemporary art has become the 23rd site to join the network of the UNESCO Great Heritage Sites of the Loire Valley, alongside the châteaux of Chenonceau, Chambord, Cheverny and Blois, Chaumont-sur-Loire, Villandry, Langeais, Chinon, Sully-sur-Loire, Brissac, Brézé, Valençay, Loches, Saumur, Angers, Amboise, Azay-le-Rideau, Dukes of Brittany, Rivau, Clos Lucé, the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud and the Cadre Noir of Saumur. Founded in 2016 by the collector Philippe Méaille, the Château de Montsoreau - Museum of Contemporary Art is located in one of the jewels of French architecture: the only Château of the Loire Valley built in the Loire riverbed, made famous by many artists including J.M.W Turner and Alexandre Dumas. The Château de Montsoreau - Museum of Contemporary Art relies on a permanent collection which includes the world’s largest collection of artworks by the artists of Art & Language. "Since its opening, the Château de Montsoreau - Museum of Contemporary Art has taken on the radical nature of its positioning within the Châteaux of the Loire Valley, the polemical and corrosive nature of contemporary art making it a laboratory of modernity from the outset,” declares Marie-Caroline Chaudruc, Vice-President. Attendance at the Museum of Contemporary Art has increased steadily and in 2019 reached 52,000 visitors. Driven by a desire for international development and networking, the Château de Montsoreau - Museum of Contemporary Art shares the approach of excellence that has characterized the network of the Great Heritage Sites of the Loire Valley since 2008.

Situé au sud du département, ce contexte piscicole représente un tronçon de la partie amont du cours d’eau compris entre l’aval du plan d’eau de Sidiailles et la confluence avec la rivière le Portefeuille. Dans ce contexte, l’Arnon s’écoule dans les régions naturelles de La Marche puis du Boischaut, dans un environnement agricole au relief assez marqué (Source : Chambre d’agriculture du Cher), et reçoit les débits de nombreux petits affluents (ru de l’étang de la Grange de Nohant, Rifoulet, Palonnière, ru des caves…).

Le délégataire atteste qu’aucun intérêt particulier ou élément dans ses activités passées ou présentes n’est de nature à mettre en cause son impartialité dans l’avis à donner sur le projet qui fait l’objet du présent avis. Conformément au 3° de l’article R. 122-6 et du I de l’article 122-7 du code de l’environnement, la MRAe a été saisie du dossier de demande d’avis.

Il n’est donc ni favorable, ni défavorable à celui-ci. Il vise à permettre d’améliorer sa conception et la participation du public à l’élaboration des décisions qui le concernent.

    PREVIEWCOPY Introduction Previewing this guidebook? If you are previewing this guidebook in advance of purchase, please check out our enhanced preview, which will give you a deeper look at this guidebook. Wine guides for the ultra curious, Approach Guides take an in-depth look at a wine region’s grapes, appellations and vintages to help you discover wines that meet your preferences. The Loire Valley — featuring a compelling line-up of distinctive grape varieties, high quality winemaking and large production volumes — is home to some of France’s most impressive wines. Nevertheless, it remains largely overlooked by the international wine drinking public. This makes the region a treasure trove of exceptional values, just waiting to be discovered. What’s in this guidebook • Grape varieties. We describe the Loire’s primary red and white grape varieties and where they reach their highest expressions. • Vintage ratings. We offer a straightforward vintage ratings table, which affords high-level insight into the best and most challenging years for wine production. • A Loire Valley wine label. We explain what to look for on a Loire Valley wine label and what it tells you about what’s in the bottle. • Map and appellation profiles. Leveraging our map of the region, we provide detailed pro- files of appellations from all five of the Loire’s sub-regions (running from west to east): Pays Nantais, Anjou, Saumur, Touraine and Central Vineyards. For each appellation, we describe the prevailing terroir, the types of wine produced and what makes them distinctive. • A distinctive approach. This guidebook’s approach is unique: rather than tell you what specific bottle of wine to order by providing individual bottle reviews, it gives the information you need to make informed wine choices on any list.

    Loire 1 Loire Following two reasonably straightforward vintages, 2011 was very challenging for many vignerons, particularly in Touraine and the Central Vineyards. Warm spring weather ensured rapid development in the vineyards, but during the summer months low temperatures and too much rain brought the threat of rot to grapes struggling to ripen. On 2nd May the village of Quincy suffered a significant hailstorm, which reduced the crop at Domaine de Chevilly to less than a third of a normal year. In over 20 years I have never tasted a range of Loire Sauvignon Blancs with such a variation of success. Very careful selection has been required as too many wines offered showed the tell-tale damp cellar and mushroomy characters of grey rot infection. We are very happy with the wines from our trusted growers; certainly Francis Blanchet felt that all his hard work was justified by the finished product,Pour “ moi la qualité d’un vin est intimement liée au travail dans la vigne”.
