The philosophy at Pascal Jolivet is to allow nature to take her course and permit the wine to make itself. The estate's three Sancerre vineyards are grown to three different terroirs, Les Caillottes is planted to very chalky soils, Les Terres Blanches is on calcareous soils, atop the highest hill in the west, the vines at Silex are grown to a mixture of limestone and flint. Every parcel from each vineyard is separately handled, wild natural yeasts initiate a long cool vinification in controlled fermenters, to enhance the character and charm of Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. Upon completion, components are held on sedimentery lees for several months, infusing complexity while building structure and adding texture.
