Sancerre Pascal Jolivet 2025

Pale straw with green glints, this Sancerre is precise and vibrant. Aromas of citrus zest, green apple, and white peach mingle with subtle notes of nettle and flint. On the palate, it is taut and mineral, showing lemon and grapefruit alongside a saline edge that speaks of its limestone and silex soils. The acidity is bright and linear, leading to a clean, focused finish that lingers with refreshing clarity.

Pascal Jolivet farms vineyards on the classic slopes of Sancerre, where Sauvignon Blanc reaches its most refined and expressive form. The interplay of chalky limestone (caillottes) and flinty silex soils gives the wines both aromatic lift and a distinctive mineral backbone. Crafted in a pure, unadorned style, this Sancerre highlights the precision and freshness of the Loire Valley, offering a benchmark expression of the appellation’s elegance and terroir.
