Published in 1946 within the authoritative Atlas de la France Vinicole by L. Larmat, this map dedicated to Vouvray presents a precise cartographic study of one of the Loire Valley’s most distinguished appellations. Issued in the immediate post-war period, the atlas reflects a scholarly commitment to documenting France’s vineyard geography with technical rigor and structural clarity.

The map centers on the north bank of the Loire River, where the rolling limestone coteaux surrounding Vouvray define the region’s viticultural identity. Carefully delineated commune boundaries, vineyard parcels, road networks, and settlement patterns illustrate the organized framework of production. Subtle tonal shading indicates slope orientation and elevation—critical determinants in the cultivation of Chenin Blanc, whose expression in Vouvray ranges from dry to sweet and sparkling styles.

The Loire River itself is rendered as a geographic anchor, underscoring its climatic influence and role in historical commerce. Typography is restrained and methodical, consistent with Larmat’s professional audience of négociants, merchants, and students of oenology. The layout emphasizes clarity over ornamentation, reinforcing its educational purpose.

At the time of publication, appellation controls were still consolidating. This sheet therefore serves as an important historical record of vineyard organization prior to later refinements in classification and delineation.
