Where to buy Pays Loudunais wine

Buying wine in the Pays Loudunais means discovering a different way of drinking: local, human and direct. Behind every label, there’s a face, a plot, a vintage. And that’s what makes each sip unique.

Here, wine is as much a part of the landscape as fields and church towers. Here, we forget about flashy châteaux and formatted tastings. We prefer to talk about winemakers who love their land and know how to talk about it, simply, with a glass in their hand.

Between Poitou, Anjou and Touraine, our hillsides are home to estates where Saumur AOP expresses itself in all its diversity: reds full of character, straightforward, fresh whites, rosés that smell of summer. Push open the door of a cellar, taste, exchange a few words and often leave with bottles that you’d like to share with your brother-in-law who “knows his stuff”.

Local markets are also part of this tasting journey: a few tables, local producers , bottles lined up proudly. There’s no need to know anything about oenology: here, you choose by feel, by smile, or by the little story told by the person who bottled it.

Whether you’re a curious wine-lover or just a stroller, the region’s cellars and estates will welcome you with kindness and generosity. Wine here is more than just a speciality: it’s an excuse to meet up, chat and share a good time.
