"Les Caves de la Loire is a co-op located in Brissac-Quincé, south of Angers. It was established in 1951 and has 160 growers and 1,600 hectares of vineyards, the majority of them located in Anjou.

Les Caves de la Loire is certified AgriConfiance et Démarche Vignerons En Développement Durable. AgriConfiance ensures traceability from grape to bottle and adheres to AFNOR's (Association French Normalization Organization Regulation) sustainable practices. Vignerons Développement Durable was formed specifically for the wine industry with the target to be sustainable in the entire wine production process: viticulture, winemaking and employment.

Les Caves de la Loire's Sauvignon Blanc 'Wally' is zesty with lively acidity, hints of passionfruit and gooseberry with great balance and a clean finish. New to our list this year is the Wally Chenin Blanc. Like the Sauvignon Blanc, it has great purity of fruit with hints of white flowers. Due to the ripeness of the vintage, it is rich but refreshing thanks
to the crisp acidity."
