Centre-Loire is renowned worldwide for its exceptional white wines, but beyond its famous sauvignon blanc wines lies a fascinating story when it comes to red wine production. This panel discussion invites you to uncover the lesser known yet compelling side of the region: its pinot noir and gamay red wines.

Guided by a duo of experts, Centre-Loire German ambassador Konstantin Baum MW, and pinot noir afficionado & specialist Anne Krebiehl MW and two local winemakers, you will explore the unique characteristics of these wines, how they fit in current market trends, and the authentic know-how that makes them stand out.

Through a tasting of five wines, you will be transported into the world of Centre-Loire reds and discover why these wines truly deserve a place alongside the region’s iconic whites.
