Where it comes from
Loire Valley, France
Loire Valley stretches along France's longest river, running west from the centre of the country toward the Atlantic coast, and is prized above all for elegant, food-friendly whites.
Pineau d'Aunis
An old, peppery, light-coloured red Loire grape used in Touraine and Vin de France reds and rosés, and in Coteaux du Loir; known for bright acidity and white-pepper spice.
Grolleau
Grolleau is a red grape from France's Loire Valley, traditionally valued for its productivity and its role in the region's rosés rather than for making bold, structured reds.
Gamay
Gamay is a red grape best known as the sole variety of Beaujolais in eastern France, a cheerful, juicy wine that ranges from simple and fruity to surprisingly serious.
