Pascal Jolivet is a leading name in the Loire Valley, known for his modern approach and emphasized elegance in his wines. The winery works with its own vineyards and partner producers in the areas around Sancerre, Puy-Fume and Touraine. The focus is on minimal intervention in the winery in order to preserve the purity and identity of the variety and terroir.
Varietal composition: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Terroir: The vineyards are located in the Touraine region, on calcareous-clay soils with good drainage and exposure, which allows optimal ripening of the grapes. The microclimate of the Loire Valley with cool nights preserves the freshness and aromatic intensity of the variety.
Vinification: The grapes are hand-picked and subjected to cold maceration for a short period. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks with wild yeasts. The wine is aged briefly on the fine lees without malolactic fermentation, which preserves the bright acidity and freshness.
