TOURAINE

Château de Chinon in the Touraine Wine Region of the Loire Valley

The Touraine region produces some of the most vibrant, highly aromatic, and instantly appealing wines in the Loire Valley. Benefiting from a perfect balance of warm sunshine and fresh air, the vineyards here create beautifully ripe, food-friendly wines that are designed for pure enjoyment rather than sitting for years in a cellar.

This is a brilliant hunting ground for lovers of Sauvignon Blanc. The white wine produced here is wonderfully bright, zesty, and offers a highly drinkable, everyday alternative to the more expensive, famous names found further east. Touraine is also home to Vouvray, a world-renowned style of white wine that masterfully balances crisp green apple and pear flavours with a gorgeous, honeyed richness.

Whether you are opening a bottle when friends come over or matching a crisp white with a charcuterie board, mild goat's cheese, or roasted poultry, Touraine wines hit the mark perfectly. They are energetic, full of pure fruit character, and incredibly easy to love.
