Pascal Jolivet Sancerre 2024 750ml

Pascal Jolivet founded his house in Sancerre in 1987 and specializes in Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. The house works with about 120 hectares, and winemaker Valentina Buoso works alongside Pascal Jolivet.

His Sancerre is a blend across the appellation's three main soils, limestone, clay-limestone and flint, and every fermentation uses only indigenous yeasts and runs slowly. The grapes are handled by gravity and pressed lightly, so the wine keeps its precision.

The house describes finesse, minerality and well-integrated acidity. Decanter found the 2024 open, aromatic, minty and lifted.

Against La Forcine Sancerre, Jolivet is more precise and mineral; for a classic Sancerre with goat cheese, choose Jolivet.

Serve it at about 10°C with goat cheese, oysters or trout. Crottin de Chavignol, the goat cheese from the next village, is the classic match.
