A Summer Journey to the Loire – 3x Tasting Package

Discover three selected Loire wines – fresh, elegant and summery French.

A summer journey to the Loire – freshness, diversity, character

The Loire Valley is one of France’s most renowned wine regions and, more than almost any other region, stands for elegant, vibrant and terroir-driven wines. This tasting package takes you on a pleasurable journey along the Loire – from mineral Muscadet to a finely sparkling wine from Saumur and an aromatic Sauvignon Blanc from Touraine.

The three wines impressively demonstrate how diverse the Loire can be in the glass: fresh and saline-mineral, delicately sparkling and elegant, or fruity-aromatic with clear Sauvignon typicity. This makes the package ideal for warm days, light cuisine and relaxed moments of enjoyment on the balcony, terrace or in the garden.

The Loire – a river valley full of enjoyment

The Loire, at over 1,000 kilometres, is the longest river in France. Along its banks lie not only famous châteaux and historic towns, but also some of the country’s most exciting wine-growing areas. From the Atlantic coast to the centre of France, wines are produced here with cool freshness, fine acidity and unmistakable elegance.

The Loire is particularly well known for white wines and sparkling wines with clear structure, aromatic precision and moderate alcohol. The combination of maritime influence, chalky soils and artisanal winemaking makes the region an ideal source of summery wines for enjoyment.

The 3 wines at a glance

• Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur Lie AOP – Marc Brédif
  A classic Loire white wine with lively freshness, fine minerality and a delicate yeast note from ageing “sur lie”. Particularly suitable with fish, seafood and light starters.
• Bouvet Trésor Saumur AOP – Bouvet Ladubay
  Finely sparkling wine from the Loire with elegant fruit, creamy structure and festive character. Ideal as an aperitif, with small bites or for special summer moments.
• Touraine Sauvignon AOP – Guy Saget
  Aromatic Sauvignon Blanc with typical notes of citrus fruits, gooseberry and fresh herbs. Clear, fresh and effortlessly elegant – perfect with light summer cuisine.

Serving recommendation

Serve the wines well chilled: the sparkling wine at about 6 to 8 °C, the white wines at 8 to 10 °C. This brings out the freshness, fruit and fine Loire minerality particularly well.

The wines unfold particularly harmoniously with:

• Seafood, fish & shellfish – ideal with oysters, prawns, scallops or grilled fish. Muscadet in particular is a classic companion here.
• French goat’s cheese – such as Crottin de Chavignol, Sainte-Maure or Valençay. Touraine Sauvignon Blanc is an excellent match.
• Light summer dishes – such as salads, antipasti, vegetable quiche, asparagus, courgette frittata or poultry with herbs.
• Aperitifs & sociable moments – Bouvet Trésor brings fine bubbles and festive lightness to the glass.

The three wines also shine on their own as stylish companions for balmy summer evenings, picnics or relaxed get-togethers with friends.
