Can you find Loire Valley wines suited for aging?
Contrary to popular belief, many Loire Valley wines are built for long aging. The great Chenin Blancs, whether a Savennières, a Quarts de Chaume, or a Bonnezeaux, can age for several decades, developing complex aromas of beeswax, white truffle, and candied fruit. The reds from Chinon made from old-vine Cabernet Franc also gain in depth and finesse over time. Even some Muscadets from the "Crus Communaux" range reveal themselves after five to ten years of cellaring.
