Pascal Jolivet Sauvignon Blanc French White Wine

The house of Pascal Jolivet was founded in 1987 and is one of the most dynamic domaines in France's Loire Valley. Based in Sancerre, the domaine now owns over 120 acres of prime vineyards spread across the appellations of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fume. The domaine supplements the estate holdings with additional fruit sourced from some of the prime terroirs of the region including "les Caillotes", "le Chene Marchand", "les Terres Blanches", "les Griottes", and "le Clos du Roy". Sancerre wines originate from three soil types: clay, limestone and flint. Sancerre wines are more floral and elegant than wines of the same varietal type in other regions. Pouilly Fume wines come from an area located on the right (north) bank of the Loire, which offers a large diversity of subsoils from the Ice Age. Pouilly Fume wines possess characteristic flinty aromas (pierre fusil), and are slightly rounder and creamier than Sancerre wines. The latter, grown on the left (south) bank of the Loire, exhibit more floral aromas and are bone dry.

Pale and vibrant in color. The Pascal Jolivet Sancerre is fresh, clean and screaming with racy acidity. On the palate it is fresh and tightly wound; acidity is tempered by very subtle residual sugar; very clean; alive, racy, youthful. Overall, a dry and elegant wine.
