Pascal Jolivet Sancerre 2006
Sancerre, Upper Loire, Loire, FrancePascal Jolivet wines may only be 20 years old but they do not lack in character or respect for the Loire. In a short time Jolivet has captured the essence of Sancerre and bottled it, taming the more aggressive aspects of sauvignon. Fifty per cent of the wine comes from "Les Caillottes", a very chalky site; 30 per cent is "Les Terres Blanches", grown on the highest hills over clay and chalk and 20 per cent is "Silex", a stonier site rich in flint and clay. Fermentation is slow and cold using indigenous yeasts. The all natural process yields impressive, intense sauvignon, tightly wound, yet with fine balance. Dry and elegant; think sushi, shellfish pork or asparagus.Tasted: 06 November 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $38.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
