From the fake to the vibrantly real! – Loire producers in London

The Loire@Saint-Satur near Sancerre

It is good to turn away from the tawdry scandal of the fake Pinot Noir in the Midi and look forward to the Thorman Hunt's tasting in central London on Tuesday 16th March. And to look forward to tasting wines from a group of producers who strive to achieve the best quality possible represented by a fine traditional UK wine importer who believes in establishing and maintaining long-term relationships with their growers.

Along with representatives from lesser regions of France, there will be a number of Loire producers to add brilliance to the occasion.

Domaine Couly-Dutheil (Chinon) - Christophe Surget
