{"id":36629,"count":12,"description":"Wines from the Loire Valley represent the 3rd largest wine district in France and has been named after the river with the same name that flows through the region. The Loire River flows south west of Paris from the Massif Central in the middle of France further west , to end up reaching the Atlantic sea. The Loire Valley is known for its mild climate and kings and queens have for centuries come here from Paris and have erected magnificent castles along the river.\r\n\r\nIt is not easy to understand that this is one of France\u2019s great wine regions. The vineyards are not visible from the road and if, however, you quit the main roads and go down along the paths that follow the river, vineyards will appear all the way from Nevers to Nantes, offering a stunning colour palette of different wines. Reds, whites or sparkling, easy, fresh, fruity wines without much pretension offered alongside the great \u201ccrus\u201d which undoubtedly are comparable to the best in both Bordeaux and Burgundy.\r\n\r\nThe Loire river has already floated half of its total length when you meet up with the first wine appellations Pouilly and Sancerre. Further west we find Quincy, Berry and Reuilly not to be confused with Rully located in Burgundy. The river continues its way through the Touraine and Anjou and meet along the way the well-known appellations sucha as Vouvray, Chinon, Bourgueuil and\u00a0 Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil. Further west we encounter Layon with its white sweet wines, ideal for aperitif.\r\n\r\nFar out to the west, almost in Nantes, we will finally find the Muscadet with its dry white wines that goes well with oysters and other shellfish. Grapevines have been in the Loire since 5500 years back, but there is no actual evidence that wine was cultivated before the Roman times. The Loire wines have historically been appreciated in England, to where a large percentage of the production was exported. When the Englishmen subsequently received interest in Bordeaux, the Dutch took over and developed both the production of the white wine in Anjou and around Nantes, and traded for over 300 years, until the late 1600s, when France took over completely after that Holland ended up in war with France.\r\n\r\nAll grape varieties in France have been used for wines from the Loire Valley, more or less successfully. Today there is some 20 varieties of grapes left, however never mentioned on the bottle label.","link":"https:\/\/www.ivinio.com\/en\/product-category\/french-wines\/en-loire\/","name":"Loire","slug":"en-loire","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":36587,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Buy wines from Loire Valley - IVINIO Wine Shop<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Buy wines from Loire Valley.
