About

Unfortunately, there is no classification or scale of vintages in Sancerre. Domaine Pascal Jolivet was formed over the years following the purchase of plots of land that are among the most beautiful terroirs in Sancerre. The grapes from these plots are harvested manually and produce highly concentrated juices, enhanced by natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The aging on fine lees lasts approximately 6 months. The very particular character of this plot reinforces the unique style of the Domaine’s wines.

Terroir

Municipality of Saint Satur. Plot selection of 0.71 hectares. Limestone terroir.

Vinification

Manual harvest, old vines. South-facing hillsides. Each grape is sorted upon receipt of the harvest, we work by gravity in order to respect the natural winemaking circuit. We do a light press and keep only the free-run juices and the heart of the press. Natural vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with aging on fine lees for 12 months.

This wine is the brighter, fresher side of Sancerre. Lemon-gold in color, it has a rich nose of white-peach stone fruit, quince, lemon zest, nectarine and Fuji apple. The palate has a steely and creamy texture mix with a supportive acid structure. This versatile wine would pair with many a meal.
