Wine Facts DOMAINE JACKY PREYS ET FILS Touraine Sauvignon Blanc ‘Cuvée Silex’ During France’s Napoleonic era, Touraine and its environs were the main source of gunflint for the army. While mines have long since made way for grape vines, the region’s flinty heart has remained, much to the joy of vine growers who cultivate Sauvignon Blanc on these mineral-rich, “silex” soils. Since the early 1940s, the Preys winemaking family has been privy to the secrets of “silex” and made sure to plant Sauvignon Blanc vines on these flint-rich soils, knowing (like their vinous compatriots in Sancerre, for example) that this vine-soil combo made for intensely aromatic wines, immediately identifiable by their subtle yet tantalizing incense notes, reminiscent of the spark of gunflint. WINERY: Domaine Jacky Preys et Fils WINEMAKER: Jacky Preys ESTABLISHED: 1940s REGION: FRANCE • Loire Valley • Meusnes APPELLATION: Touraine AOC BLEND: 100% Sauvignon Blanc VINEYARDS: Estate vineyards are located near the towns of Meusnes and Mareuil-sur-Cher.

Palmarès Du Concours Général Agricole
PALMARES DU CONCOURS GENERAL AGRICOLE 2011 Les médaillés du Concours Général Agricole Les Vins / VAL DE LOIRE ET CENTRE Date d'édition : 24/02/2011 PALMARES DU CONCOURS GENERAL AGRICOLE PRÉSENTATION Depuis sa création en 1870, le Concours Général Agricole (CGA) s'est donné pour objectif de distinguer les meilleurs représentants de chaque catégorie de produits alimentaires. Il s'agit exclusivement de produits agricoles ou issus, en première transformation, de produits agricoles récoltés sur le territoire français. Ils sont d'origine fermière, artisanale ou industrielle. Organisé sous le contrôle de l'Etat, ce qui garantit son impartialité, le CGA a lieu chaque année et se déroule dans le cadre du Salon International de l'Agriculture. LA SÉLECTION Le CGA, réglementé par un arrêté du Ministère de l'Alimentation, de l'Agriculture, de la Pêche, de la Ruralité et de l’Aménagement du territoire, associe le plus étroitement possible la profession à sa conception et à son évolution : -les prélèvements sont effectués par les agents de l'Etat, ou sous leur contrôle ; -les présélections sévères aboutissent à n'admettre en phase finale que des produits d'une qualité certaine ; -les jugements sont rendus par 3800 jurés indépendants constitués en jurys représentant l'ensemble d'une filière ; producteurs et transformateurs, négociants et distributeurs, techniciens, sommeliers et restaurateurs, consommateurs avertis. LA VALORISATION DE LA PRODUCTION AGRICOLE FRANÇAISE La finalité du CGA est de confronter les meilleurs des échantillons au sein d'une catégorie bien définie et homogène de produits, lors des dégustations effectuées par des experts. Il met l'accent sur leurs caractéristiques sensorielles, après avoir vérifié qu'ils correspondent bien aux normes officielles.

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.

Château Du Petit Thouars
Château du Petit Thouars Built in the early 1500’s for a wealthy family from the town of Thouars, the Château du Petit Thouars is a 150-ha estate run today by Sébastien du Petit Thouars, the twelfth generation to dwell here since his ancestor George purchased the property in 1636. Though records and physical evidence exist of wine production on the property centuries ago, it wasn’t until the late 1970’s that the enterprise was revived—this time, by Sebastién’s father, who gradually planted 15 ha of Cabernet Franc (plus a little Chenin Blanc) immediately behind the house itself. The vineyards and cellar are managed by Michel Pinard, a born-and-bred Chinonnais who worked for many years as the right-hand-man of Charles Joguet—one of the appellation’s most famous and respected vignerons. The Château is located in the commune of Saint-Germain-sur-Vienne, in the southwest part of the Chinon appellation, along the south bank of the Vienne River. In contrast to the sandy soils that predominate further east in the appellation, the vineyards around Petit Thouars are on limestone-clay, much like those of Saumur-Champigny, immediately to the town’s west. Saint-Germain-Sur-Vi- enne did not belong to the Chinon AOC until 2015, as growers in Saint Germain decided to opt out upon the appellation’s creation in 1937, betting on the “Touraine” designation instead—probably the “wrong” call in hindsight, but understandable given Touraine’s broader name recognition at the time. In any event, the commune successfully lobbied for inclusion in the Chinon appellation after Touraine’s AOC laws changed in 2012 to forbid 100%-Cabernet-Franc wines, and thus from 2015 on Château du Petit Thouars’s wines are labeled as Chinon rather than Touraine.

An Anthropometric History of Early-Modern France
Komlos, John; Hau, Michel und Bourginat, Nicolas: An Anthropometric History of Early-Modern France Munich Discussion Paper No. 2003-10 Department of Economics University of Munich Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Online at https://doi.org/10.5282/ubm/epub.54 The Anthropometric History of Early-Modern France John Komlos, University of Munich In collaboration with Michel Hau and Nicolas Bourguinat, University of Strasbourg French scholars have been in the forefront of anthropometric research ever since Count de Montbeillard recorded his son’s height profile between 1759 and 1777.1 Similarly, Louis René Villermé was the first statistician of public health in the early 19th century, who noted that the height of a population correlated positively with the productivity of the soil: „physical stature is greater, and men grow faster, the wealthier is the country; in other words, misery produces short people, and delays the achievement of final height.“2 In our own time, Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie, carried on the tradition by being the first historian to examine systematically the geographic variation and the socio-economic correlates of human height in 19th century France. In a series of publications beginning in 1969 he showed, that the physical stature of recruits born in the late 1840s correlated positively with their education and wealth. Illiterates averaged 164.3 cm, while those able to read and write were 1.2 cm taller. Presumably literate men came from wealthier families, and spent more time at education and less at work than did illiterates.3 Although after a hiatus of some two decades considerable research on French 19th century heights continued in the 1990s,4 the anthropometric history of France of the Ancien Régime remains completely uncharted territory.
