Sancerre (18 Cher, Centre) is world-renown vineyard (and pretty town) in the mid-Loire Valley, The town is situated on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Loire river and providing a superb view of the vineyards which enjoy the natural slopes on limestone and marl.
It is recognised for its Sauvignon Blanc wines – dry and minerally – although in the past it had been better known for its red Pinot Noir, which is still produced albeit in smaller quantities.
Sancerre Wine Fair takes place 3-4 June 2017. see maison-des-sancerre.com
