The 600-mile stretch of the Loire River valley and its tributaries make up one of France's top wine regions. The wines include famous names such as Muscadet, Pouilly-Fumé, Vouvray, and Sancerre.

Best known for white wines, the most popular grape varieties are Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, and Melon de Bourgogne. Red wines are made with Cabernet Franc and Gamay. Some of the best examples come from Saumur Champigny.

Chenin blanc is a white wine grape variety from the Loire Valley of France. Its high acidity means it can be used to make many styles from crisp and fresh dry white wines, to delicious sparklers, and even well-balanced dessert wines,

Outside the Loire, Chenin Blanc is best known in South Africa. A new generation of quality producers is making excellent, complex Chenin from old vines and the future looks very bright indeed.

Charles‑Eusèbe Biotteau carries forward a proud family tradition in the heart of the Loire Valley, where vineyards have been tended for generations on the gentle slopes of Anjou. Working alongside his father, Pascal, Charles‑Eusèbe is passionate about expressing the unique character of their terroir.

Guided by sustainability and a deep respect for the land, Château d’Avrillé’s wines reflect both their heritage and a thoughtful vision for the future.
