Wine in restaurants in France: some Loire recommendations

Xavier Fortin: ace wine buyer and sommelier@La Promenade, Le Petit Pressigny, Indre-et-Loire

My weekly post on Les 5 du Vin is now up. It follows on from David Cobbold's Monday post on wine in restaurants in France – citing the good and bad. My post includes a number of recommended Loire restaurants and bar à vins where wine is given its proper place and respect.

    "a list of appellations with no indication of vintage and only on rare occasions any mention of the producer"
    Sadly, I have found this to be the case in so many restaurants throughout France. Admittedly these have usually been fairly simple restaurants, but it's not too difficult for even a simple restaurant to do it right. There's a fairly simple place in Annecy with a modest wine list that has a very good small selection of Savoie wines, listing vintage and producer.

    Many thanks. It would be good to have details of the place you recommend in Annecy please.
