Summer wines: 5 Loire whites
1000 km. That's the length of the river we invite you to follow in just five bottles. So we had to choose and leave the wines of Auvergne and Vendée on the bank. The journey begins in central France and follows the course of the river to Muscadet, just outside Nantes. Here we come across Sauvignon, Chenin and Melon B grapes (no longer called Melon de Bourgogne, it was confusing). What all these wines have in common is their fresh, easy-to-digest character, which makes them ideal for summer drinking.
Proud Vendée strongholds
Forget about a simple rosé on your way back from the beach at Les Sables-d'Olonne, because the fiefs vendéens, vineyards of the Loire and the ocean, also offer pretty red and white wines, sometimes ambitious, but always fresh. The whites are best enjoyed young with oysters or seafood, but also after a few years in the cellar with noble meats such as sea bass or St. Pierre. Red wines are ideal for summer red meats. Our selection of five must-taste fiefs.
