In the collective imagination, the Loire is the region of the small fresh white for “the aperitif”, Burgundy being that of the great white. Talented winegrowers from the Loire are now sweeping away these commonplaces with the back of their shears!

But if there are sure and historical values all along the Loire, we offer you here a selection of 25 exceptional cuvées produced by promising young talents who come to challenge their elders.
