Red – we have tried.

The
Loire Valley produces fruity red wines from Pinot Noir and Gamay,
and earthy red wines from Cabernet Franc and Malbec. It's best
known for crisp dry white wine, but we focused on red wine this
time. We could only find 3 bottles of Loire reds in Tokyo,
however we have tasted other great white wines and red wines.
