  • Loire Valley
    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.

We have put out this shorter newsletter a bit earlier than usual to allow you to order special packs for Christmas. You will need to get your orders in straight away, however, because delivery firms get very busy around this time and deliveries always take longer. For this month only we have a special Christmas pack of one dozen specially selected wines to get you through the holiday season for which there is a 20% discount. We also have a 6 pack of sparkling wines, something it’s always important to have in the fridge over the holidays.. There is also a pack of what we have called On the Fringe wines. These have all been unfiltered and unfined and with no additions expect for one or two that have had tiny amounts of sulphur added. These are wines that are distinctly different. We are also delighted to offer a pack of wines that all come in under 12% alcohol this month as well as another pack of wines made from obscure grape varieties. We are finding more and more customers are asking for something different. And the final pack has only two bottles in it, but they are the two top cuvées from Loire Valley icon Jean-Pierre Robinot. We haven’t been able to offer these wines to our retail customers before as they are always snapped up by the trade, but we have managed to hold a few back this shipment.
