Issued in 1946 within the distinguished Atlas de la France Vinicole by L. Larmat, this map devoted to the Coteaux de Touraine presents a disciplined cartographic survey of one of the Loire Valley’s historically significant wine districts. Produced in the immediate post-war period, the atlas reflects a methodical effort to preserve and clarify France’s viticultural geography through precise documentation.

The composition traces the Loire River and its tributaries as structural anchors of the landscape, emphasizing their influence on microclimate, soil formation, and vineyard exposure. Commune boundaries, vineyard zones, transportation routes, and settlement patterns are rendered with technical clarity. Subtle tonal gradations suggest elevation changes along the coteaux—sloping hillsides whose orientation and drainage capacity define the character of Touraine wines.

The map situates key production areas within the broader Loire framework, illustrating how Touraine functions as both a geographic and commercial corridor. Typography is orderly and restrained, consistent with Larmat’s professional audience of merchants, brokers, and oenological students. The emphasis lies on structural accuracy rather than decorative flourish.

At the time of publication, appellation systems were still consolidating. This sheet therefore serves as a valuable historical record of vineyard organization prior to later regulatory refinements. Roads and rail networks underscore the region’s export connections, particularly toward Paris and western ports.
