Pascal Jolivet Sancerre Blanc, Loire, France 2023
The Jolivet family entered the world of wine in 1926, when the Société de négoce Jolivet et fils was created. Until then, Louis Jolivet and Lucien Jolivet had succeeded each other as cellar masters at the Château de Tracy. Louis and Lucien made their selection, bought in bulk, bottled and marketed their wines in the Sancerre region.
Each grape (Sauvignon Blanc) is sorted upon receipt of the harvest, we work by gravity in order to respect the natural circuit of vinification. Press lightly to maintain optimum fruitiness. Assembly of 50% limestone, 30% clay-limestone and 20% flint. Each soil is vinified separately in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats, the limestone brings minerality and finesse; the clay-limestone brings the fruit, the richness and the flint brings the structure and the minerality. Unique, precise, chic, timeless and divinely good.
