Sancerre is situated 200km south of Paris at an altitude of between 200-400m. Located close to the Loire River and surrounded by forest, Sancerre enjoys a relatively mild micro climate which contributes to the region special terroir. 50% of the grapes come from vineyards grown on chalky soil, in Bué-en-Sancerre, 30% from the highest hill in the west on calcareous-clay soils, and 20% from the east limestone and flint soils.

After harvest, the grapes are gently pressed. The juice is then fermented in stainless steel using natural yeasts, at 16°C for 25 days. The grapes from each parcel are fermented separately.

Pascal Jolivet was founded in 1987 and is one of the most dynamic domaines in France’s Loire Valley. Based in Sancerre, the domaine now owns 120 hectares of vineyards spread across the appellations of Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé. Pascal shares his philosophy with winemaker, Valentina Buoso: to work in harmony with nature to produce wines with purity of fruit, a linear character and minerality, allowing a natural expression of the vineyard to give the wines a sense of place.

Perfect with fresh water fish dishes, shellfish and goats cheese.
