About the Winery
Domaine Javoy is one of the most steadfast and enthusiastic ambassadors of the Orléans wine renaissance. Pascal Javoy consistently demonstrates the enticing potential and generous charm of this historic, often under-the-radar wine region. We particularly love the pure pleasure and drinkability of his red Orléans cuvée, where Pinot Meunier brings irresistible suppleness, vibrant fruit clarity, and lively freshness that make it an instant crowd-pleaser. The Orléans-Cléry bottling showcases beautifully ripened Cabernet Franc with velvety tannins, savory dark fruit notes, and balanced acidity that makes it a versatile companion for regional charcuterie, roasted meats, and mature cheeses. A highly commendable family property providing outstanding value just outside Orléans that every curious Loire traveler and wine explorer will truly appreciate and savor on any convivial dining occasion, celebrating the noble resurgence of an iconic historical vineyard with generosity, honesty, and remarkable tasting pleasure across all seasons.
Visiting the Winery
Featured Wines
Domaine Javoy excels in highlighting historical Orléanais grape varieties, with a particular affection for Pinot Meunier and Cabernet Franc. White AOC Orléans blends Chardonnay and Pinot Gris into an aromatic bouquet of white vineyard peach, acacia blossoms, and ripe orchard pear supported by a vibrant mineral backbone and crisp salinity. In red, AOC Orléans unites Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir into an irresistibly juicy, supple, and crunchy wine brimming with wild strawberries, red cherries, and mild spices. AOC Orléans-Cléry, crafted entirely from Cabernet Franc, reveals darker berry concentration, notes of ripe blackberry, violet, and sweet pepper with smooth, velvety tannins. The estate also crafts refreshing summer rosés and the popular sparkling cuvée Perle de Saint-Avit celebrating regional effervescence and conviviality.
