✅ Summary
The 2023 Pascal Jolivet Sancerre Sauvage is a beautifully crafted, terroir-expressive Sauvignon Blanc—crisp, mineral-rich, and elegant. Its structured palate, pure fruit, and lingering salinity evoke top-tier Burgundy whites, but at a more vivacious Loire style. A superb choice for pairing with seafood and lighter fare or savoring on its own.
"Parcel selection on 2 hectares of limestone terroirs located in the villages of Champtin and Bué-en-Sancerre. Organically grown, these old vines produce exceptional grapes and an extremely pure and concentrated juice. “Sauvage” lives up to its name, aging on fine lees (thermo-regulated stainless steel vats) for 12 months, bottled without filtration or refrigeration. This wine is immediately identifiable on tasting thanks to its great freshness, liveliness, minerality, complexity and salinity on the finish. Must be decanted to let its animal aromas develop."
