It's time for Loire wines

Climate change is also changing the wine world considerably. Regions that were once cool are now truly warming up. This is an advantage for the Loire Valley, which is located quite far north. The grapes are ripening more easily. This isn't just evident in Sancerre and Anjou. Muscadet, for example, is also becoming increasingly beautiful. Another interesting fact: Chenin blanc is also called Droë Steen in South Africa.

Anjou Blanc, an interesting Loire wine region

Just south of Paris lies the Anjou wine region, in the beautiful Loire Valley. Anjou is divided into two sub-regions: Anjou Noir , with a nearly black soil of granite and iron. And Anjou Blanc , with a chalky soil of tuff. Chenin Blanc thrives here!

The Chenin Blanc from Deux Vallées comes from that "white" tuff soil, but with slate and schist. This gives it a tremendous minerality . Chenin Blanc has a fine acidity, meaning this white wine can be aged for a considerable length of time. But it's also excellent when young!
