A stay at a Les Ponts de Cé campsite will undoubtedly take you along the wine trail. If there were a single word to describe the wines of the Loire Valley, it would be diversity. What a wealth of terroirs, climates and soils to be found in this region, spread out around the meandering Loire! Here's an overview of the finest appellations.
The Anjou vineyards are the kingdom of the Chenin grape variety. Just a few minutes from the estate, you can discover prestigious appellations such as Savennières, a dry white wine with character, or Quart de Chaume, classified as a Grand Cru. The latter, made from late harvest grapes, offers notes of honey and exotic fruits. For those who prefer a fresher taste, the Coteaux du Layon offers sweet wines balanced by a beautiful liveliness, perfect for accompanying your aperitifs on the terrace.

Cabernet d'Anjou is the best-known rosé in the Loire region, with a very substantial production of 42 million bottles. But Cabernet de saumur, grown nearby, bears little resemblance to it.
