{"title":"Pascal Janvier","description":"\u003cp\u003ePascal 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJanvier 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/pascal-janvier\"\u003ePascal Janvier producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pascal-janvier-chenin-blanc-jasnieres-organic-wine","title":"Pascal Janvier Chenin Blanc Jasnieres 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003ePascal Janvier Chenin Blanc Jasnières 2024 is a dry white wine made from 100% Chenin Blanc grown on clay, limestone, and flint soils along the south-facing slopes of the Loir River, in the Jasnières AOC of the Sarthe department.
