I am not a connected person, but my understanding is that, to the extent one can generalize about the Loire, it was a difficult vintage, yields were low as a result of some hail, it was wet early on and for a chunk of the growing season, and the better producers made some glorious wines despite all that. I have liked a lot of what I have tasted so far, especially Pepiere. SFjoe produced his usual more detailed, more helpful reports under various permutations of the title "Travels with DJ Steve".
