Pascal Janvier Coteaux Du Loir Blanc 750

A small grower in a tiny appellation, Janvier is a big influencer in showing off the typicity and unique character of wines from Jasnières. These slightly off-dry wines reveal racy acidity, and are perhaps more lightly honeyed than beef Chenin Blancs from other parts of the Loire Valley. Janvier’s wines are loaded with the flinty minerality to be expected from this terroir. Fruit and floral aromas follow wet stones and smoke, offering tantalizing notes of ripe melon, exotic guava, quince, citrus flowers, grapefruit, and orange marmalade.
