Description
Jolivet crafts Sancerre of notable depth and heft. Other defining characteristics are the purity of fruit and expressive minerality for which it is so well loved. Expect Jolivet's ability to strike a brilliant balance between texture and vibrancy to be on display here. Characteristically bright and lively with a pronounced minerality - look for flinty tones - this wine always provides a telling insight into the region.

Tasting Notes
This has depth. You can taste the white chalky rocks that anchor the fruit - a beautiful range of citrus that goes from lemon to grapefruit. Like all well-done Sancerre, this manages to combine texture and a brilliant acidity. One of the better Sancerres from Jolivet that I have tasted. Score - 4 Stars (out of 5).
