Touraine


See Touraine producers 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.
