Touraine hakkında
Touraine centres on the city of Tours in the historic province once called the 'Garden of France'. It is a region of red Cabernet Franc — from the neighbouring appellations of Chinon and Bourgueil — and of Chenin Blanc, made in styles from dry to sweet and sparkling in Vouvray and Montlouis-sur-Loire, which face each other across the river.
The broad Touraine AOC covers Sauvignon Blanc, which is its most commonly seen wine, alongside light reds from Gamay and Cabernet Franc.

İklim ve terroir
İklim
Cool maritime
A cool, oceanic climate with mild winters. South-facing slopes above the river trap warmth, but ripeness is vintage-dependent, and the best years bring Cabernet Franc to full maturity while cooler ones give a fresher, greener style.
Terroir ve topraklar
Asmaların yetiştiği zemin
Soft chalky tuffeau limestone lies beneath clay-and-flint (silex) on the plateaus, with sand and gravel terraces along the Loire and the Vienne. The tuffeau cellars carved into the hillsides keep wine at a steady cool temperature.
