Pascal Janvier

Pascal Janvier did not expect to become a winegrower. He studied butchery, but at the age of thirty made a complete change of direction, enrolling at the viticultural school in Amboise and beginning to learn a craft he would eventually master. His quiet, deliberate approach to winemaking mirrors his personality: focused, unhurried, and deeply attentive to the particular character of each parcel. Today he is one of the most important figures in the revival of Jasnières, a tiny and once-obscure Loire appellation that produces some of France's most distinctive Chenin Blanc.

Janvier began his winemaking career slowly and deliberately, building his holdings over time. He and his wife now farm 66 different parcels across a total of roughly nine hectares, managing everything themselves. His estate is based in Ruillé-sur-Loir, in the southern Sarthe, on the northern edge of the Loire Valley. He farms approximately eight hectares of Jasnières and four hectares in the Coteaux du Loir appellation, with vines averaging 35 to 40 years of age.
