Updated
The vineyards of this AOC region are located on the south bank of the Loire river. Reds are made from Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir and Gamay grapes and tend to be light. Whites are often Sauvignon mixed grapes (Blanc and Gris) with Chardonnay, Arbois and Chenin Blanc components; they tend to have overtones of citrus and hints of mineral. The separate Cour-Cheverny appellation is produced in the same district from Romorantin grapes.
