Salon des Vins de Loire ★ 4.7
The Salon des Vins de Loire is the Loire's flagship trade tasting, bringing several hundred Loire producers together at the Angers Centre des Congres each February. Pays Nantais to Pouilly-sur-Loire, all major appellations represented; trade and press credentials required.
Tip: Combine the salon with the Levee de la Loire and Demeter Loire satellite tastings the same week for the most efficient Loire-wide assessment of the new vintage.
