Passerelles is an exploration of the wines found along the length of France's longest river—the Loire. At just over 1000 kilometers (634 miles), the Loire is home to a spectacular array of grape varieties—from racy Sauvignon Blanc and mineral-driven Chenin Blanc to supple Gamay, earthy Pinot Noir and robust Cabernet Franc. It is widely considered to be one of the most diverse wine regions in the world, with many of the most superb values to be found anywhere. The terroir offers mild weather during the growing season, a broad range of the most sought-after soils in the wine world, gentle hillsides and many smaller tributaries leading to the long expanse of the Loire. The resulting wines overdeliver on quality—pure and inviting expressions of this storied river valley.
