France’s longest river, the Loire, runs through the Garden of France. It is a land of crisp, dry whites, from Sancerre and Pouilly Fume in the east to Muscadet in the west. Sitting in the middle is a jewel where the Chenin grape comes to the fore to provide the honeyed, luscious wines of Vouvray. Loire Valley wines offer great value for money in general with few wines attracting stratospheric prices. The best of the sweeter wines can age for decades whilst the youthful vigour of the fresh, dry whites will give almost instant delight.

In vogue at present, this delicately sweet rose is just the job for a lunchtime tipple with a salad or such. Ideal with terrines too, it simply flows out in the summer. Try it and you'll understand why!

Vouvray Sec – Domaine Darragon |
Chenin Blanc provides wines that are great in youth but even finer in age. This is typical with delicious fruit and minerality now but with years ahead of it to develop complexity in bottle.
