  • La Renaissance des Appellations – Domaine de Juchepie

    Layers and layers of exotic aromas from macerated raisins and caramel to black tea, ginger and spice. A truly delightful wine. How anyone can say they don’t like sweet wine I don’t know.

  • The sweet wines of the Loire valley

    Naturally produced sweet wines require lots of hard work in the vineyard. Chenin Blanc is so suited to sweet wine with its naturally high acidity and lovely grapefruity bitterness that comes from sinking its roots deep into the schistous slaty soils of Anjou (its great on limestone too!).

Sometimes I tire of the constant demands of being Sometimes I tire of the constant demands of being present on social media. It takes time and effort on a daily basis.

And then, I get the chance to meet up with a fellow Loire nut 3717 miles away thanks to Instagram.

How amazing is that! 

I’ve been ‘friends’ with @crazywineasian for a while and when I realised I’d be going to Toronto I suggested we meet up. 

Not only did she come to the official Loire tasting, she treated me to a delicious lunch at one of Toronto’s best Thai restaurants and took me to a local bottle shop/restaurant (something that really took off in the Covid years). 

Suddenly the world seems very small indeed. 

Incredible that you can travel half way across the world and find a kindred spirit. 

Thanks @crazywineasian . It was great to meet you and hear about your life in Canada. 

Back home in the Loire, I raise a glass of Loire wine to all my Insta friends across the world. You just never know when we might meet up.

Just back from a whistle-stop visit to Toronto to Just back from a whistle-stop visit to Toronto to promote @lionelgosseaume and the wines of the Loire valley.

More than 200 wine professionals came to taste with us. Somms, restaurant owners, buyers for the LCBO, journalists and influencers.

@jackyblisson gave two presentations during which myself and some of the other growers participated. 

Organised by InterLoire and Sopexa it was a great success and for me personally, a chance to understand the Canadian market better. 

Just sorry I didn’t have more time to visit some of Toronto’s landmarks and foodie places although I did have the pleasure of meeting up with @crazywineasian for a delicious Thaï lunch on the final day. Big thanks to her for treating me and taking me to see a really neat bottle shop.

The best way to get to grips with Loire valley win The best way to get to grips with Loire valley wines is to get out there. So come with us!

Walk in the vineyards, feel the terroir beneath your feet, look at the vines, talk to the winemaker, taste the wine.

Gorgeous spring day here in the Loire. A pleasure Gorgeous spring day here in the Loire. A pleasure for Nigel to be out pruning here in the Vouvray appellation. 

The buds are still tightly shut. Good news ! The earlier they burst the higher the chance there will be frost damage. 

Fingers crossed 2023 will be a frost free season for the growers.
