The Loire Valley & Chinon Wines:
The Loire Valley is often referred to as the Garden of France, and with good reason: it’s a fertile, picturesque region filled with vineyards, orchards, and beautiful towns. The valley is known for its temperate climate, ideal for growing grapes, and La Belle Etoile sits in the heart of the Chinon wine region, known for its high-quality reds made primarily from Cabernet Franc.
Chinon wines offer a variety of expressions depending on the terroir, and you’ll find both young, fruit-forward wines with notes of blackcurrant and anise, as well as more complex, tannic wines with depth and spice that improve with age. Whether you prefer light, fresh reds or full-bodied, structured wines, the region offers something for every palate.

Location: Tucked away in a quiet corner of the Loire Valley but with easy access to cultural, historical, and natural attractions, La Maison offers the best of both worlds—seclusion and convenience.
