Part one of the Loire Valley running from West to East.
Controversy Alert: Though one of my sources for this cast does identify the three crus of Muscadet Sèvre et Maine as AOCs, I can't find backup for this claim, with the other sources I've seen saying that the three crus have something called "communal cru" status, which does not make them separate AOCs but does give them stricter production and other requirements than the parent AOC of Muscadet Sèvre et Maine. I'll keep you posted while I try to sort this out.
UPDATE: The three Crus are DGCs (Dénominations Géographiques Complémentaires), not separate AOCs. I cover DGCs in the main cast on the Côte de Nuits, so you can find more information there.
