Last night's tipple was from Saumur on the Loire. Absolutely delicious, full of red fruit flavours and wonderful overall taste.
Will go and get some more. #Wine #LoireWines

Last night's tipple from Chinon on the Loire. A wonderful Cabernet Franc with deep fruit flavours and still a few tannins after 10 years in the cellar.

Tonight's tipple is a rare wine for the Loire, a Cabernet Sauvignon , oak aged from my local vineyard. Not expensive, but wonderfully rich and fruity. It's 2018, so been in the cellar for 6 years. #LoireWines #Wine #CabernetSauvignon

Tonight's tipple a wonderful Cabernet Franc from Chinon on the Loire. Deep fruit flavours and the tannins had mellowed perfectly. One of the best wines houses in that region.

Last night's tipple, it was really very good. Unfortunately this vineyard doesn't bottle any more so I only have one left 😭. It's oak aged Cabernet Franc, delicious.

Lunchtime drink with a fabulous meal. Lovely young Cabernet Franc could do with a few years in the cellar to round out tannins, but drinkable now.

Last night's tipple is another local wine , matured in an Ovoide vat for 12 months, and done in a bio-dynamic method. 7 years in the cellar has made it smooth and deliciously fruity. Grape is a Cabernet-Franc.

Speaking to lots of my wine-making friends, and especially my daughter who works in the industry, 2023 is going to be a great vintage year in the #Loire, but quantities are down. Looking forward to tasting it.

Had a bootle of this with some delicious cakes last night. Can highly recommend.
Excellent value for money. #Wine #LoireWines

Last night's tipples, a Gratien & Mayer and Akerman Cremant de Loire and a quite exquisite white wine from Terre Blanches in Orion. #Frenchwine #Loirewines

Fantastic wine tasting at Domaine de le Paleine. If you get to the Loire, definitely worth a detour

Last night's wine, a Sparkling from Puy de Notre Dame, a very new white from a boutique wine producer and a deep fruity 2015 red from Chateau de Parnay. #Loirewines #CabernetFranc #Chenin #Frenchwine

Jancis revels in the glorious 2025 Loire vintage and her tasting of dry whites identifies some excellent 2024s, too.

#MelondeBourgogne, also known as #Muscadet, thrives in the Loire Valley, producing crisp, mineral-driven white wines. Often aged “sur lie” for extra texture, it’s perfect with seafood. Once mistaken for Chardonnay, it’s now prized for its zesty freshness. #LoireWines #WhiteWine #winegrape
