The Loire Valley contains a myriad of regions flanked on one end by the Atlantic Ocean and on the other by one of France’s most popular regions, Sancerre. The coastal appellations produce white wines that are excellent foils for all seafood, be it oysters or smoked fish. Further inland, you can enjoy an array of red wines ranging from Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir to Pineau d’Aunis. And then there’s Sancerre, unmatched in its white iteration made from Sauvignon Blanc. An exciting white to buy by the case is the other white of the area: Chenin Blanc. Try those from Vouvray, Montlouis, or Savennières and you’ll have a most poignant partner at the table.
