The Pascal Jolivet Sancerre Blanc Clos du Roy is an exceptional Sauvignon Blanc from the renowned Sancerre appellation in the Loire Valley. The grapes come from the historic Clos du Roy vineyard in the commune of Crézancy-en-Sancerre. Around 50-year-old vines grow on the clay and limestone soils of this prestigious plot, whose yields give the white wine its special concentration, depth and expressiveness.
The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected after the harvest. In the cellar, Pascal Jolivet uses a particularly gentle vinification process in which the grapes are processed using gravity in order to preserve the natural quality of the grapes as much as possible. Only the first run juice and the core of the pressing are used for ageing. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, after which the wine matures for eight months on the fine lees. This long maturation on the lees gives it additional complexity, fullness and elegance.
In the glass, the Pascal Jolivet Sancerre Blanc Clos du Roy presents a precise and multi-layered aroma. Notes of citrus fruit, green apple and fine mineral nuances characterize the bouquet. On the palate, the wine is dry, full of character and harmonious, with lively fruit, fine structure and remarkable length. Its chalky origin gives it an elegant minerality and a long, persistent finish.
This elegant Sauvignon Blanc is an excellent accompaniment to shellfish, fish dishes in fine sauces and ceviche. Its freshness and finesse come into their own at a drinking temperature of around 10 °C.
