Christmas
is coming soon. So why not choose wines from the Loire Valley for
changed instead of Champagne and Sauternes to served with your delicious Christmas's meal
?
Montlouis’s and Vouray’s wines will match very
well with your Foie Gras and desserts.
Among our team, two of us are from the Loire
Valley so we are proud to talk you about our wines. Elaborated from Chenin, a
white grape variety, Montlouis and Vouray produced still wines, from dry to
sweet and sparkling wines from “brut” to “demi-sec”.

from Montlouis and Vouray are well-balanced with a beautiful acidity more or
less present following the maturity and always a nice freshness.

talk about the price! It’s very attractive because you can find a very good
bottle from 10€ for still wines but also for a sparkling one. Your wallet will appreciate!
