December Visit to the Loire Valley

The ABFW team visited some key Loire Valley growers (including Domaine Naudet and Pierre Marchand) in December to taste the 2016 vintage. Production volumes have decreased marginally compared with 2015, but the quality remains excellent.

The team tasted samples from all the growers' tanks, with the harvest segregated by soil type. Final blending will take place in March and April, to be released between April and August.
