We spent 2 great weeks in the Loire this year, near Saumur, and we're going back for more!

We spent a day looking at various wine cellars, spending time at the Ackerman caves and Robert & Marcel.

We picked up some lovely wines (well, we thought they were good!) from both wineries, but next year we want to really stock up for at home.

Therefore, does anyone have any tips as to what wines are worth seeking out within the Saumur region?

Thanks!

Thanks! Keep them coming!

I will do some research on the above and see where they are for next summer!

Having had a quick look, all of those above are within a 20 minute drive of where we stay! Excellent!

Unfortunately, Sancerre is a good 2 1/2 hour drive away, although Vouvray is indeed only an hour.

Not long until we go - 10 weeks or so!

Any more thoughts on wine?
