It is a wine-producing region that stretches across the Loire River in France.
This region is known for its many ancient castles and scenic beauty. Sancerre and Pouilly-Fimé are famous for producing Sauvignon Blanc.
Unlike New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, which tends to have a strong fruity flavor, Loire Sauvignon Blanc produces wines that are characterized by their herbal aromas and minerality.
