The Loire Valley, in France, is known for its fresh, vibrant, and diverse wines. It produces crisp white wines from grapes like Sauvignon Blanc (e.g., Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé) and Chenin Blanc (e.g., Vouvray), which can range from dry to sweet. The region also offers light, fruity reds and rosés from Cabernet Franc and other varieties. Loire wines are prized for their bright acidity, mineral notes, and food-friendly style, reflecting the cool climate and varied terroirs along the river.
