The wine Loire region is known for its many small producers such as Domaine Desroches-Mancois, with a "down to earth" approach to making wine.
A two-hour drive south of Paris, the Loire, France's longest river, winds its way through a valley over 1,000 km from the mountainous area around the Ardéche to its mouth in the Atlantic Ocean. The first time the river meets vineyards is in Sancerre ─ a famous white wine district ─ located right in the middle of France. For the next 800 km, the Loire runs through a landscape of 75,000 hectares of vineyards, 87 different AOC appellations and more than 4,000 vineyards to the one at Nantes runs through the Muscadet de Sévre-et-Maine known for its fresh white wines and oysters. The Loire Valley has played a vital role in French wine history for centuries, and one of the region's trump cards is diversity: a wide range of white and red wines, rosé wines, crunchy and honey-sweet wines, as well as sparkling wines not to be forgotten.
Fleshy red wine. Ripe nose with notes of black fruits and cocoa. Powerful and fleshy palate with a long and spicy finish.
