Pascal Janvier: Jasnières and Coteaux du Loir
Today's stage into the Massif Central leaves the Loire vineyards behind for another year. The nearest Loire vineyard to the start of today's stage in Aigurande is Châteaumeillant at 36 km to the north east unfortunately too far to be able to provide a vigneron de l'étape. Yesterday's stage as well as passing through Touraine went through Jasnières and the Coteaux du Loir, so I'm able to chose another vigneron de l'étape.
My vigneron de l'étape 7 (parti du Loir) is Pascal Janvier, whose wines I discovered at this year's Vitiloire in Tours at the end of May. The Tour went through Pascal's village Ruillé-sur-Loir, so he is a natural choice. See my report on Pascal and Vitiloire here.

Jasnières: vines and sunflowers


Salon des Vins de la Vallée du Loir

Pour la 7ème année, les vignerons de Jasnières et Coteaux du Loir tiennent salon au centre-ville du Mans. Ils sont 20 vignerons de la vallée du Loir à venir à la rencontre du grand-public.

Au programme : informations touristiques et dégustation du millésime 2010 bien sûr !

Lieu: Le Mans. The 2010 edition was in La Place du Jet d’Eau, so I assume the 2011 edition will be too.
