Regional Guide



This section is the heart of this web-site. The long term objective is to write definitive reports on all the appellations of the Loire and for these to be updated on a regular basis.

Expect to find an overview of each appellation, vintage reports, producer profiles – including tasting notes, a summary of the top growers and the wines to search out. At the end of each section you will find a list of where to eat, drink and stay.
