Touraine Amboise-Loire Valley, France

The Touraine-Amboise wine region, nestled in the heart of the Loire Valley, encompasses eleven communes on both banks of the Loire River, with the historic town of Amboise at its center. Covering approximately 220 hectares, the vineyards benefit from a temperate climate influenced by both oceanic and continental factors, creating ideal conditions for viticulture. The diverse soils, ranging from calcareous clays atop tuffeau limestone to siliceous and clay-gravel compositions, contribute to the unique profiles of the wines. Touraine-Amboise produces a variety of wine styles: robust and tannic reds primarily from Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Côt (Malbec), and Gamay; aromatic rosés; and rich, complex whites predominantly from Chenin Blanc. The region's winemaking tradition dates back centuries, with a focus on quality and authenticity. The picturesque landscape, characterized by rolling vineyards, historic châteaux, and the meandering Loire River, offers a captivating backdrop for wine enthusiasts and tourists alike. ​
