Pale and vibrant in color. The Pascal Jolivet Sancerre is fresh, clean and screaming with racy acidity. On the palate it is fresh and tightly wound; acidity is tempered by very subtle residual sugar; very clean; alive, racy, youthful. Overall, a dry and elegant wine.

"A perennial Loire favorite. Made from 100% Chenin Blanc, this off-dry wine pairs well with shellfish. What a value!" ~Winery Notes

Our white Sancerre Moulin des Vrillères is a blend of our different parcels of Sauvignon. It expresses clearly its aromas of white flowers and citrus fruits, and lingers long on the palate. The dominant fresh mouth does not betray its terroir. One can open it as an aperitif and finish it with fresh or mature goat's cheese.

On the palate, this wine is light bodied, nicely balanced, and has a dry mouthfeel. The flavor profile is a tasty light lime and green apple blend. The finish is dry and refreshing. ABV 14.2

Intense and complex, this fresh, mineral wine with hints of grapefruit is a perfect match for seafood, grilled light fish and goat cheese. The Sancerre Blanc vines are planted in communes within the Sancerre appellation. Grapes are harvested terroir by terroir when they reach their peak of ripeness. The juices from each individual terroir are then blended harmoniously to yield a unique and versatile wine.

Chenin Blanc Brilliant clear yellow. Seductive nose with lovely fruit aromas (pear, pineapple) and delicate floral notes. Smooth on the palate with a nice refreshing finish. To be enjoyed as an aperitif or with smoked fish, Asian dishes, creamy cheese. Best served between 8°C and 10°C / 46°F and 50°F. Vegan friendly.

The SANCERRE WHITE WINE AOC 2013 comes exclusively from the SAUVIGNON GRAPE variety which is cultivated on 16 hectares (¾ Caillotes, ¼ Terres Blanches). As soon as harvested, the white grapes are pressed in a pneumatic press and separated from the musts. The temperature during the fermentation is carefully controlled to give the wine bloom and elegance. The fermentation is made thanks to a fermenting starter of natural yeasts. Musts are regularly pumped over, then blended and after fined over bentonite. It is then cooled to avoid tartaric sediment and filtered through Kieselguhr. TASTING NOTES Appearance: Pale yellow crystalline appearance with occasional green flecks. Nose: The initial impression on the nose is one of discreet intensity with varietal fragrances opening out into aromas of blackcurrant leaves and floral notes of limeflower and verbena. Upon aeration, notes of acacia are revealed. Palate: The lively attack on the palate brings a refreshing acidity, enhanced by nuances of citrus fruits and hints of peach. The mineral finish adds balance to this characteristic and harmonious Sancerre. Excellent terroir wine: rich and sophisticated. Tasting notes providede by Gely Yveline, professional sommelier (Brevet Professionnel de Sommellerie) 04.03.14. It can be drunk as an aperitif. Served with starter dishes, it accompanies very well seafood and fish as well as the famous Chavignol goat cheese. It should be served at a temperature between 8° to 10°.

Pale straw yellow with silver reflexes. Very fresh and clear fruit-driven bouquet with notes of white peach, nectarine, citrus fruit and slightly exotic hints of pineapple, melon and lychee. Subtle aromas of white flowers like honeysuckle before soft roasted tones and a whiff see-air. Crystal-clear and with animating, crisp acidity on the palate, that gives the wine lightness, strength and liveliness at the same time. Nice length on the finale with a tart fruity aftertaste of grapefruit and lemon.

For 10 generations, the Bourgeois family has been cultivating vines in the heart of the Sancerre region on the best slopes. The estate stretches over the famous village of Chavignol known for its goat cheese but also for its wines. The vines for the Les Gonnes Bouches Sancerre are are 20-40 years old planted on chalky/clay soil. It is fermented in stainless steel and spends 5 months oak-aging on its lees preserving its aromatic qualities. This and the use of gravity for each stage of the wine making characterize the quality and style of "Bourgeois". The 2011 (now bottled in screw cap) has aromas of tropical fruit and citrus flavors that are both seductively intense, yet with a subtle, refined elegance. Its persistence and harmony makes your mouth water for another sip. Enjoy as an apertif before the meal or with fish, scallops, or the famous Chavignol goat cheese.

The idea that we have wine is that it must express its terroir, its grape variety and the identity of the winemaker. This is all the more true for an AOC, it's all the charm of wine whatever it is. This is why winemaking must remain simple, if quality is gained in the vineyard, work in the cellar must preserve the living with healthy practices for wine. Since 2012 the charter of organic winemaking confirms our work from the vineyard to the winery. We can talk about organic wine, a guarantee on winemaking practices for the consumer.

This family estate in Sancerre has old vine Sauvignon Blanc planted on caillottes soils in the commune of Verdigny, and on Silex soils in the area of Saint Satur. The owners of the vineyard are not winemakers and so they sell the entire production each year to a negociaint-eleveur named Laurent Gerard. The roots of the vines draw from two particular terroirs to imbue the wine with its unique characteristics. "Les Caillottes," which is predominantly limestone, brings finess and fruit notes. "Silex" is deeper, with more flint and minerals that give the wine structure and excellent depth as a serious "vin de soif." Verdigny has recently become associated with distinctive, high quality wines that they are often referred to as "crus" even though Sancerre is not officially classified like parts of Bordeaux and Burgundy. These 45+ year old vines are some of the hidden treasures that offer us the unprecedented values such as "La Foret des Dames".

"Attitude" has a beautiful freshness in mouth, a frank attack, delicate green and lemon flavors, citrus fruits, green apple, and kiwi aromas. The minerality gives a long finish to the wine, a smoothness and elegance. Made with the same attention to detail as Jolivet’s great Sancerres, this wine is made from grapes grown outside the appellation. The wine offers expressive floral and fruit aromas on the nose, then freshness and minerality on the palate. This is textbook Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire. Pascal Jolivet’s philosophy is to let nature take its course as much as possible. The juices are fermented with wild yeasts in stainless steel tanks with thermoregulation and he uses organic techniques in all his vineyards. About the Brand: Domaine 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 over 120 acres of prime vineyards spread across the appellations of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. Pascal Jolivet is a firm believer in natural winemaking and practices environmentally friendly and organic techniques in both the vineyard and the cellar, with the philosophy of letting nature take its course as much as possible. Critical Acclaim: "Pascal Jolivet, known for dynamic wines with a focus on terroir and low-intervention winemaking, homes in on fresh floral and fruit notes with its latest line, Attitude. The Sauvignon Blanc expresses the terroir of the Loire Valley with a long mineral finish." Rachel King, Fortune
