Val de Loire IGP

Description to Val de Loire IGP

One of the seven major regional IGP areas for the production of country wines in France. The other six are Atlantique, Comtés Rhodaniens, Comté Tolosan, Méditerranée, Pays d'Oc and Terres du Midi. It includes the entire Loire wine-growing region along the course of the river and ten tributaries. The former Vin de pays area was called Jardin de la France (Garden of France) until 2007 and referred to the scenically beautiful area along the river with the many picturesque Loire castles. The vineyards cover around 70,000 hectares of vines. There are over 30 AOC areas.

The IGP designation Val de Loire can be complemented by the names of the 14 départements, which correspond to narrower, geographical designations. These are Allier, Cher, Indre, Indre-et-Loire, Loir et-Cher, Loire-Atlantique, Loiret, Maine-et-Loire, Marches de Bretagne, Nièvre, Pays de Retz, Sarthe, Vendée and Vienne. Other independent IGP areas are Coteaux de Tannay and Coteaux du Cher et de l'Arnon. Red wines, rosé wines and gris de gr is account for about 60% of production. They are mainly made from the Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Gamay, Grolleau Noir and Pineau d'Aunis varieties. The 40% white wines are mainly made from Sauvignon Blanc, Melon de Bourgogne, Grolleau Gris and Folle Blanche.
