The cellars carved into white Tlimestone, magical châteaux, magnificent gardens, hillsides covered in vines ; hundreds of sights that still hold the memory of kings, queens, princes and artists like Rabelais, Ronsard, Balzac, Leonardo da Vinci, and Joachim du Bellay… The Loire vineyards offer charm, grace and surprise around every corner.

These wines were also nourished by their excep- tional natural and cultural environment.

If Colette was right in saying that “only the vine reveals to us what is the real taste of the earth, the Wine Route sings” of the richness of its heritage 800 kilometres of exceptional heritage: famous and the flavour of its terroir all along its course. landscapes were shaped by the meandering Loire and its tributaries, molded by human strength and spirit, from the Atlantic to the hillsides of Anjou and Saumur and the valleys of Tours. The châteaux of Tours and the country mansions of Anjou inspired scores of writers and philosophers such as Rabelais, Balzac, Leonardo da Vinci, Descartes, Ronsard and Victor Hugo. Its troglodyte cellars were carved in limestone, form- ing vast underground quarries perfect for aging and storing wine. Its extraordinary gardens are nourished by the region’s rich climate and soil to produce beau- tiful botanical harmonies. By car along the wine route, by bicycle or on foot along the vineyard paths, on a barge down the Loire, or celebrating in a Bacchic festival, discover France’s third-leading winemaking region as you see fit.

ocated where the Loire meets the Atlantic Atlantic in a cradle of wandering nature, Lthe Nantes vineyard enjoys the benefits of the open sea and offers an appealing array of seasonal variations. This land boasts winemaking estates and a rich historical heritage, a delight for the eyes and the palate. Take a sip of Muscadet, whose only varietal, Melon de Bourgogne, can yield surprisingly varied wines depending on the soil it is planted in. This varietal left its native Burgundy in the early 17th century, travelling down the Loire to take root around Nantes. Since that day, Nantes has featured the largest single-varietal white wine vineyard in Europe. It is divided into four appellations, the world-renowned Muscadet and three regional appellations: Sèvre et Maine, Coteaux de la Loire and Côtes de Grandlieu.

There are inspiring landscapes to be found on either bank of the Loire. Take the time to discover the rolling countryside covered in vines as far as the eye can see, dotted with châteaux, manors and windmills… Stop to taste Nantes’s other appellations, Coteaux d’Ancenis, Fiefs Vendéens (red, rosé and white) and Gros Plant du Pays Nantais, a dry white wine with a taste of the sea. 8

his, more than anywhere else, is where the Loire, Europe’s last wild river, is most Tbeautiful. Here, its majestic, peaceful riverbed receives the waters of the Layon and the Aubance, two rivers that gave their names to famous Anjou wines. With its 29 Appellations d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC), the Anjou-Saumur vineyards offer the Loire Valley’s most diverse spectrum of wines, in terms of both colour and flavour, including sweet and dry whites, sweet and dry rosés, reds, and sparkling wines. The Wine Route covers approximately 200 kilometers between Ingrandes-sur-Loire and across an area with vines as far as the eye can see. The region’s quintessential varietals are grown on hillsides and plains along the Loire and its tributaries, where they are nurtured by local microclimates. Two main varietals dominate the area, chenin blanc and cabernet franc

They will tell the story of the region’s limestone troglodyte cellars, its cellar mills, its vineyards and wineries, and its châteaux, country mansions, and monasteries… You will quickly understand that here, human history and winemaking history have always gone hand in hand.

n Montsoreau, right near Saumur, you are free to choose between... North and South. ILet’s start with the North. This area is home to the Bourgueil and the St-Nicolas-de- Bourgueil appellations, between the “gravelly wines” from the banks of the Loire and the “limestone wines” from the hillsides. If you continue further south, you will be met with a magnificent landscape, the confluence of the Vienne at Candes-Saint-Martin. This is where the Chinon vineyard begins, in Rabelais’s home country. The Cabernet franc varietal, which is locally known as “breton", flourishes in these limestone terroirs to yield full-bodied laying down wines, with light, fruity, aromatic qualities in the gravelly terroirs. The area’s few rosé and white wines are worth a taste. Continue your trip towards the Indre valley, country of windmills and manors, and its basketry centre (Villaines-les-Rochers). The crowning jewel of this valley is the Château d’Azay-le-Rideau.

EntErtainmEnt and EvEnts Vitiloire, wine festival in Tours (mid-May) “Chinon fête le vin” wine festival (May) Les Balzaciennes in Azay-le-Rideau (early July) Promenade gourmande” food and drink festival in (mid-July) Vignes, Vins et Randos (1st Sunday in September) Touraine Primeur (3rd Thursday in November) Bourgueil wine festival

This vineyard bears the name Touraine-Azay-le-Rideau. After meeting winemakers from Touraine Noble-Joué just outside Tours, you will catch a glimpse of the Montlouis-sur-Loire and Vouvray appellations on the hillsides on either side of the Loire. Taste these great Loire wines (from the chenin grape) in the wineries carved into the stone. As you travel back along the route to the east, towards Amboise, between peaceful valleys and plateaus, you can tickle your taste buds with Touraine Amboise.

he Loir is a tranquil river that gently rolls from the edge of the Beauce region south Tof Chartres to Angers. Its environment features typical Touraine characteristics: limestone, slate and troglodyte dwellings. The Loir valley vineyard is the northernmost of the Loire valley and offers a unique local varietal, pineau d’Aunis, which is used to make red and rosé wines with highly sophisticated, slightly peppery flavours. This region is best-known for its white wines made from a single varietal, Chenin blanc, which is at its best in wines from Jasnières and Coteaux du Loir. To the west of Vendôme lies the Coteaux du Vendômois appellation. From Thoré-la- Rochette and Lavardin to Montoire-sur-le-Loir and Trôo, travel through these small towns and villages and visit their troglodyte cellars.

After the château town of Poncé-sur-le-Loir and Ruillé-sur-Loir, admire the vines of Jasnières on the steep, south-facing hillsides. This exclusive appellation is limited to approximately forty hectares. The Musée de la Vigne de Lhomme will reveal all the secrets of these rare wines. Finally, you will happen upon the deep valley pastures and the vines of the Coteaux du Loir appellation. Across the Loir in Marçon, visit a cellar or tour a wine estate.

Visit the striking Château de Chaumont and enjoy its famous “Festival des Jardins”. After the Château de Cheverny, which gave its name to the prestigious appellation, and the Château de Chambord, the largest of the Loire châteaux, you will leave the Loire valley and its slate-roofed buildings for the Sologne wine region. Here, vineyards intermingle with fruit orchards. The houses’ roofs are covered in tile and the vineyards face the south. Continue in this direction towards the winemaking plateau of Oisly.

You will finally reach the Cher Valley and its winemaking villages: Noyers-sur-Cher, Saint-Aignan, and Mareuil-sur-Cher whose spicy, fruity, easy-to-drink gamay has made them famous.

They can tell you about their range of friendly classes that offer a variety of fun sensory Lesson no. 3: taste the flavour applications.

Roll the wine around on your tongue, move it around your mouth and focus carefully to get the full experience of your wine. Once you have swallowed or spit out your wine, keep tasting. Does the wine have a long finish, meaning its flavours and aromas unfold slowly, or a short finish, meaning they are fleeting?

Even if you don’t have much experience, the world of wine is within your reach. You can describe the spectrum of aromas you sense between your nose and the back of your throat and tell whether the tannins are soft, silky or supple and speak about how much you like the wine.

“Taste cannot be told, only tasted.” But remember, trust your senses!
