Pascal Pibaleau

Pascal Pibaleau works in the Loire Valley, where cool-climate conditions shape wines of mineral precision and bright acidity. The winery's Chenin, made from the region's signature white grape, achieves the textural complexity and aging potential Chenin Blanc is prized for. L'Héritage d'Aziaum blends Gamay, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec—a composition that draws on Loire's red-wine heritage, where Cabernet Franc thrives in the valley's slate and limestone soils. Fine Bulle de Touraine, a sparkling wine from Cabernet Franc, demonstrates the versatility of the region's primary red variety. Wine Spectator has rated these wines.
