Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry
Pascal Janvier's Coteaux du Loir blanc is the "baby" sibling of his Jasnières: Chenin Blanc from the wider Coteaux du Loir appellation that surrounds Jasnières, from vines averaging 35 to 40 years, fermented with native yeasts in steel. Bone-dry and stony: quince and lemon with a perfumed hint of guava and clove, a smoky, flinty minerality and a taut, chalky finish.
Serving: Serve at 9–11 °C.
