The series covers classic wine-producing regions wordwide and profiles the top producers. Updated in November 2025, this guide discusses the wines of the Loire, including Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, Touraine, Anjou, and Muscadet.
The guide is divided into two parts. The first part discusses the regions, and explains the character and range of the wines. The second part profiles the producers, showing how each winemaker interprets the local character.
Description of each area includes its geography, the grape varieties that are grown, how these relate to the styles of wines that are produced, wines from entry level to icons, current trends and how styles are evolving. References wines are recommended for each region. The guide is illustrated with photographs of each area, topological maps to show the terrain, road maps to identify the locations of estates, and information on recent vintages. Profiles range from producers who may dominate an appellation to small estates that define the cutting edge. The profiles identify the best of tradition and innovation in the region. Each estate profile describes the producer's aims for his wines, and the personality and philosophy behind them. Reference wines are suggested for leading producers. Producer details include essential information for planning a visit.
