Pascal Janvier's Cuvée Sainte Narcisse is a 2022 Jasnières, a white wine made from Chenin Blanc in the Loire Valley of France. It pairs smooth, pure Chenin fruit with a complex sense of terroir: smoke, peat, exotic spices and volcanic stoniness.
Pascal never planned to be a vigneron. He trained as a butcher, then at thirty switched course and studied winegrowing in Amboise. With his wife Dominique, he now helps revive Jasnières, a small appellation in the Val du Loir, the most northerly and coldest part of the Loire region. They rent sixty-six parcels totaling nine hectares and farm them entirely themselves. The soils mix clay, limestone, sand and flint, and are planted mainly to Chenin Blanc.
