  • 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.

  • Loire-June-2012.1341844291.Pdf
    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”. Further west the later ripening Cabernet Franc and the Chenin Blancs of Anjou and Coteaux du Layon benefitted from the sunshine and warmth which returned in mid September. Stéphane Branchereau of Domaine des Forges professed himself very happy across his range, to the point that he felt some wines risked being almost too rich. Gordon Coates June 2012 The estates are listed in order from the source of the Loire to its mouth. 2 Mixed Cases with a saving of at least 10% on the bottle prices Loire Sauvignon Blancs £118.00 (Two bottles each of six whites) Code CL112 2011 Les Chardons,

  • Coteaux Du Layon Blanc "Or & Lumière" | © ALLIANCE LOIRE | Design Vin.Co IR7A7E
    Coteaux du Layon Blanc "Or & Lumière" AOP Coteaux du Layon, Vallée de la Loire et Centre, France THE WINE The name “Or et Lumière” refers to the raisining of the grapes also called “passerillage”. From mid- October, the grapes are reaching high levels of ripening, related to the noble rot. It produces outstanding sweet wines with deep gold colour. TERROIR This appelation that stretches along the river imbedded in the Layon fault contains a multitude of soils (schists, chert rock, rhyolites, black carboniferous soil…). The sand and gravel of Anjou covers the Briovérien bedrock on hills with a slight slope. VINIFICATION The vines are only hand harvested in the late season, when the famous “noble rot” has successfully concentrated all the sugar and aromas in the Chenin Blanc berries. Soft pressing then slow fermented with temperature control system to respect the aromas. AGEING Aged on the lees for at least 6 months before bottling. VARIETALS Chenin blanc 100% SERVING Best served at 8-10°C. TASTING NOTES Deep gold colour. A rich wine with a well-balanced sweetness, notes of honey, apricot, candied fruits (sometimes exotic when young), with floral notes (lime-blossoms, acacia, oleander…). FOOD AND WINE PAIRINGS This wine makes an excellent aperitif and goes well with foie gras, fish in sauces, white meats, ripened cheese (Roquefort) and desserts (lemon or apricot tart, fresh figs). 1/1 ALLIANCE LOIRE - Route des Perrières, 49260 Bellevigne-les-Châteaux Tel.

The French aristocracy was onto something when they built their impressive chateaux in this region that’s often called “the garden of France.” It’s a sweet spot for viticulture too, so the wonder is that the wine jewels are not better known to consumers outside of France.
