Loupiac Wine Region, France

The Loupiac wine region is one of Bordeaux’s most distinctive subregions. Loupiac sits directly across the Garonne from the world-famous Sauternes and Barsac, benefiting from the same morning river mists that encourage noble rot in Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle grapes. Though far less celebrated than its neighbours across the water, Loupiac produces genuinely rich, honeyed sweet wines at a fraction of Sauternes’ prices, making it one of Bordeaux’s better-value dessert wine sources.
