history
Alliance Loire is a group of winegrowers who decided in 2002 to pool their resources in order to offer a complete range of authentic, well-balanced wines from Muscadet to Vouvray along the Loire River. The winegrowers are driven by the strong but simple values of the modern cooperative - solidarity, respect and creativity - values enhanced by a real team spirit, which enriches each stage of the wine production process. Alliance Loire groups together 8 cooperative cellars, representing all the diversity of the terroirs and appellations of the Loire Valley. Loire wines in general are known as reasonably priced refreshing wines.

2022
The 2022 'Cuvée Signée' Chinon begins with aromatics of raspberries and red plums followed by nuances of spices, dried soil and hints of tobacco and wet stones all taking shape in the glass. Medium-bodied and beautifully balanced with a nice combination of minerality and acidity. It continues to impress with its sleek texture and core of fresh fruit that leads up to the finish.
