Loire – 'one of the greatest winemaking regions of France' – watch the video

Lionel Gosseaume

Watch Cathy Shore here of le tasting room explaining why you should come to the Loire Valley. Lionel Gosseaume in eastern Touraine is one of the vignerons that Cathy talks about in the video. She also stresses  that much of the Loire are family businesses – when you visit you won't be met by someone in a suit. This is one of the Loire's great attractions for wine lovers.

Cathy and Nigel a great job, introducing many people to the wines of the Loire. They are very hospitable, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the region where they live.
Now, where's my suit?

Thanks Brett. Suit? What language is that? Certainly not a word I recognise.
