Loire Chenin Blanc from Jasnières and Coteaux du Loir terroirs.

Pascal Janvier works with Chenin Blanc in the Loire Valley, focusing on two distinct terroirs within the region. The winery's flagship Jasnières Blanc draws from the mineral-rich soils that define this appellation, while Cuvée du Silex Jasnières emphasizes the chalky, flint-laden character of its vineyard site. A third expression, Coteaux du Loir Blanc, extends the portfolio across the broader Coteaux du Loir region. Chenin Blanc in these Loire microclimates develops the high acidity and complex stone-fruit character the variety is known for, with the potential for considerable aging potential. Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate have rated the portfolio, with the Jasnières Blanc achieving particular recognition among prestige critics.
