Here pale reds are predominantly made from Cabernet Franc (with some Gamay), with the best examples coming from Saumur-Champigny and Chinon. The dry whites are crisp Sauvignon Blancs from Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé, with top wines coming from producers like Didier Dagueneau.
There are also complex Vouvrays from Chenin Blanc. These produce a range of white styles from dry through to lusciously sweet. Superb, ageworthy examples can be found from Domaine Huet among others.
