Food and Loire Wines
The Loire's diversity means a wine for every dish:
Muscadet with: - Oysters (classic for good reason) - Moules marinières - Fresh goat cheese - Asparagus (notoriously wine-unfriendly)
Chenin Blanc with: - Roasted chicken (dry versions) - Thai cuisine (off-dry versions) - Blue cheese (sweet versions) - Apple tart (moelleux)
Cabernet Franc with: - Mushroom dishes - Roasted vegetables - Duck confit - Mild Indian curries
Sauvignon Blanc with: - Goat cheese (local pairing) - Grilled fish - Asparagus and artichokes - Green salads with vinaigrette
