Wines of the Loire Valley by Beverley Blanning
Wines of the Loire Valley is an up-to-date guide to the wines of this historic region, renowned for their balance between succulent fruit and refreshing acidity. Author Beverley Blanning MW traces the complex patchwork of vineyards that extends more than 500 km along France’s longest river. The book begins with a history of wine in the Loire valley and provides an overview of the region’s geology, climate, key grape varieties and wine styles. The regional section of the book covers the region’s famous appellations and producers, as well as many more that are frequently overlooked and undervalued, and highlights some hidden (and affordable) gems. Blanning also explains why the Loire is at the forefront of the move towards a more natural approach to wine growing and why, as higher-profile regions struggle with rising temperatures and excessive alcohol levels, the cooler vineyards of the Loire are benefiting from warmer vintages. Appendices provide detailed information on vintages and appellation statistics.
• An overview of the region – its history, grape varieties, viticulture, vinification techniques and wine style
• Profiles of the main appellations and individuals shaping the Loire’s vinous landscape
• An explanation of why natural winemaking is so popular in the Loire, with organic and biodynamic producers clearly indicated
• Key facts on each appellation displayed in easy-reference text boxes
• Regional tips for wine travellers, including when to visit, where to stay and where to eat
• Supported by colour maps and photos
