Essentials of "Val de Loire"

The wines of the Loire

Val de Loire is France’s third-biggest designated wine-growing region and is located at the point where north and south come together, with an overall temperate climate and some remarkably varied terroirs. This is the region where the majority of grape varieties were created: the 31 appellations and the Val de Loire PGI occupy an area of 43,000 hectares and 14 départements from Vendée to Puy de Dôme. The Val de Loire Wine Route is a wine tourism destination par excellence and the longest wine route in France. It stretches 800 kilometres through the Val de Loire region, inviting you to discover the extraordinary heritage of the ‘royal river’ with its enormous variety of castles and landscapes designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The region is the product of two thousand years of history; a patchwork of different climates, soils, reliefs and orientations giving rise to great diversity:

• The subsoil in the Nantes wine region originates from the metamorphic and volcanic rocks of the Armorican Massif, consisting mainly of gneiss, mica schist, greenstone and granite.

• In the Anjou vineyard, the subsoil is composed mainly of slate shale, sandstone shale and carboniferous shale, as well as volcanic rocks, all from the Armorican Massif.

• There’s a transition from the old bedrock in the east to the sedimentary basin in the west between the Anjou and Saumur vineyards.

• The subsoil in the Saumur and Touraine region is made up of tuffeau chalk and the flinty sands and clays of the Paris Basin. The terraces bordering the Loire and the Vienne consist of sand and gravel rolled smooth by the water and deposited over time.
