La Loire — A story of chalk & schist
| Date | 13.03.2023 |
| Location | CAROUSEL |
On Monday 13th March we’ll resume our regional tastings to showcase the wines of La Loire. The focus will be on the 'Anjou-Saumur & Touraine' geological jigsaw to compare the impact of soil types on chenin & co.
Heading towards the Atlantic Ocean, La Loire runs its course over the many forms of chalk which characterise the Bassin Parisien; as the river leaves behind the limestone of what is known as L’Anjou Blanc (white Anjou), it flows onto more ancient metamorphic and igneous rock formations – the mostly darker schists of L’Anjou Noir (black Anjou).
Every domaine we work with will be represented – see full list below – and most growers will be on hand to pour their wines. This will be a rare opportunity to sample the wines of iconic vignerons but also discover the emerging talents of tomorrow.
