Touraine
See Touraine producers See a list of Touraine wines See map
Located around the central city of Tours, Touraine is famous for the Cabernet Francs of Bourgueil, Chinon and St Nicolas de Bourgueil as well as for the dry, sweet and sparkling Chenin Blanc wines of Vouvray and Montlouis.
The bulk of the region's wines are produced under the `Sauvignon de Touraine' appellation, a good value Loire Sauvignon Blanc produced on sandy clay undulating flats between the Loire tributaries the Cher and the Indre. Reds are also made from Cot (Malbec), Cabernet Franc and Gamay.

"The Loire is Sauvignon Blanc's homeland and this wonderful example epitomises all that is good about this popular variety. Crisp, dry and grassy, this is delicious with salads or flat fish, or simply on its own.Once the only region responsible for easy drinking Sauvignon Blanc, Touraine was ... MORE | ||||

"Fred Bourillon continues to deliver. This is reassuringly ripe but also restrained on the nose, with a nice lift of lanolin & stone-fruit aromas. The white peachy palate is fleshy, succulent almost thanks to a hot July, while the fine structure & minerally dryness would make it a fine ... MORE | ||||

"The 2007 Bourgueil Peu Muleau comes from 35 year old vines at the top of the sunny slope overlooking Restigne, on aeolian sand that gives pretty violet-scented wines for earlier drinking. The wine shows brilliant purple colour, with violet and cassis leaf perfume on the nose; you can sense ... MORE | ||||

Sandy, lime-stones and clay soils underpin this scintillating wine, which compared to the weightier Clos du Bourg, seems more perfumed and ethereal. The nose pings with piercing lime flower notes, while the off-dry (9 grams RS) palate whistles through with a puckering lemon zestiness at a near ... MORE BBR Score: 20/20 | ||||

From this excellent vintage for dry Chenin Blanc, a tangerine-dream of a wine that builds on a prime chalky vineyard location, vinified in a mix of cement cuves and old french oak, to give a zesty, orange blossom wine riven with immense purity, minerality and life, thanks surely to the application ...

Compared to the cool dense green stone of Le Mont, Haut Lieu higher up on the plateau is an altogether more facile terroir, iron rich and red. The Vouvray wines tend to be fruitier than the quivering Le Mont, yet deceptively so for Haut-Lieu ages just as well. Take this wine: the nose a ... MORE | ||||

Bizarre though it may sound, the initial whiff of this rare beauty spirited me to Epernay, to the cellars of Alfred Gratien in fact, to moment when they popped a bottle of their 1998 vintage, aged “sur-lattes” on their corks, not on bottle caps…that distinct smell of wild ... MORE | ||||

This 1996 Vouvray Le Mont Moelleux is a mesh of orange, lime peel, straw, brioche and hay even; on the palate the wine's 67 grams of residual sugar is sublimely integrated, balanced out by scintillatingly pure, another dead-ringer for Sauternes surely; one of the Loire's very best without a doubt. ...
