Pascal Jolivet Sancerre opens clear, precise and fresh. The fruit is perfectly intertwined with the mineral flavours that shine in the bouquet. These flavours also dominate the palate giving vitality, grip and tension to the wine.This is pure and expressive Sancerre of great character and quality. It has been fermented and aged for 12 months in stainless steel and bottled without filtration.
Over the years, the uniqueness of Jolivet wines is due to constant attention to detail. In 2013, following the departure of Jean Luc Soty (he moved back to his family in Macon and work now in a laboratory), Pascal hires a young and talented oenologist, Valentina Buoso who has carried out in depth research on indigenous yeasts. Through such work, Pascal aims to enhance the fruit character in his wines, along with their elegance and precision. The initiative is a success. Valentina has done a remarkable job since her first vintage in 2013 .
The Sancerre wine is extremely pure and refined with a highly praised, subtle character. Jolivet’s Pouilly Fumé wines, in contrast to Sancerre, are full-bodied and rich in character. Both Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé are vived and well-integrated. In 2016, continuing his quest to attain ultimate authenticity in his wines, Pascal launches a partnership with Dauny family. Pioneering organic viticulture from 1966 on, Benoit Dauny is given supervision over the 50 hectares of the Domaine by Pascal who relies on his 50 years of organic viticulture experience. Henceforth, the domaine will produce organic grapes.
Crafting a wine is a great outlet to become creative, a kind of art that asks us to listen to mother nature to better perceive and understand her messages. Magic happens while grapes are transformed into juice, then into wine and gives back to the terroir its nobility.
