Loire | The territory, the winemakers, the wines [new edition] | Francois Morel

Not only castles and not only sauvignon blanc, far from it: from Berry to Vendée, this splendid region hosts small treasures and monuments of the world of winemaking.
Great white wines, famous like Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, talented like Vouvray or Savennières, or unsuspected like Muscadet and Cour-Cheverny. Surprising and seductive reds, between Anjou, Touraine, and Auvergne. Majestic botrytized sweet wines. Fresh and sparkling rosés. Youthful or structured sparkling wines. The Loire - or perhaps it would be better to decline it in the plural: the Loires, so much and such is its internal diversity - is a magnificent and intriguing territory that invites travel and discovery, from the foothills of the Massif Central down to the estuary that flows into the Atlantic Ocean. In this concise volume, François Morel provides an authoritative and original overview.
