LOVELY LOIRE

The Loire , named after the river of the same name , is perhaps the most beautiful wine region in France. The area stretches from the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes, eastwards to Orleans. The Loire is the longest river in France (1012 km) and rises in the Ardèche in the Massif Central at an altitude of 1400 m, at the foot of Mont Gerbier de Jong. It starts as a wild mountain stream , then the Loire takes a wide bend to the left near Orléans and continues as a river towards the Atlantic Ocean . The river basin covers 1/5 of the whole of France. The various regions differ from each other in soil composition and climate. The west has more maritime influences. Further inland, the influence of the sea decreases and the climate is moderately continental. Together with the differences in soil types, this ensures a great variety of grape varieties. The area therefore has a large number of wine types. From west to east, the Loire is divided into the following regions: Nantais , d'Anjou and Saumur, Touraine and the Vins du Centre.
