It's time for Loire wines

Climate change is also changing a lot in the wine world. Areas that used to be cool are now really getting warmer. For the Loire, which is located quite north, this is an advantage. The grapes are ripening more easily. You can see this not only in Sancerre and Anjou. Muscadet, for example, is also becoming more and more beautiful. Another fact: Chenin blanc is also called Droë Steen in South Africa.

Anjou Blanc, interesting Loire wine region

The wine region of Anjou is located roughly directly below Paris, in the beautiful Loire Valley. Anjou is divided into 2 sub-regions. Anjou Noir , with an almost black soil of granite and iron. And Anjou Blanc , with a chalky soil of tuff. Chenin Blanc does great here!
The Chenin blanc from Deux Vallées comes from that 'white' tuff soil but with slate and schist. Which gives it an enormous minerality . Chenin blanc has a fine acid structure. Which means you can store this white wine for a really long time . But it is also very drinkable when young!
