Description
Jolivet crafts Sancerre of notable depth and heft. Other defining characteristics are the purity of fruit and expressive minerality for which it is so well loved. Expect Jolivet's ability to strike a brilliant balance between texture and vibrancy to be on display here. Characteristically bright and lively with a pronounced minerality - look for flinty tones - this wine always provides a telling insight into the region.
Tasting Notes
The 2020 vintage is the best for a decade, according to Pascal Jolivet - early picked, with a good generosity and ripeness of fruit. In this vintage, Jolivet decided to make less single-vineyard wine in order to further improve the quality of the Sancerre Blanc. The blend is made from vines grown on limestone, limestone clay and flint, with parcels vinified separately before blending. When you taste this next to the Pouilly-Fumé (now labelled Blanc-Fumé), it's more restrained in character, more linear. Lemon citrus, mouthwatering acidity, quite textured, almost chalky. Fresh and mineral, this is a gastronomic interpretation of Sauvignon Blanc that would be delicious with shellfish, sushi or white fish. Drinking window: 2021-2023. Score - 92.
