Domaine Pascal Janvier Jasnières Chenin Blanc 2024

Pascal Janvier farms small, family-owned parcels in Jasnières, one of the Loire Valley’s most esteemed Chenin Blanc appellations. His approach emphasizes gentle handling in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar, allowing the unique limestone soils and cool-climate conditions to express themselves fully in the wine.

Varietal: 100% Chenin Blanc from Jasnières, Loire Valley, France. Grapes are hand-harvested, gently pressed, and fermented with native yeasts in neutral vessels. The wine is aged briefly on fine lees to enhance texture while preserving the varietal’s signature freshness and minerality.

Tasting Notes: A bright, mineral-driven Chenin with aromas of green apple, white flowers, and wet stone. The palate is lean and focused, offering crisp citrus, a hint of quince, and a chalky, saline finish. Elegant and precise, it’s a textbook example of Loire Valley Chenin.
