Pascal Jolivet Sauvage Sancerre 2012
Sancerre, Upper Loire, Loire, FranceThe chalky soils of Champtin yield this organic sauvignon blanc, one of Jolivet's Grandes Cuvées. Aptly named Sauvage, this is wild fermented, spends a year on the lees and is bottled without filtration. Allow this to stretch its legs before drinking; this will reward you the favour and expand in the glass. Elegant and quietly confident, with slate, subtle wild herbs, white grapefruit pith and tight pear concentrating on the textured palate and holding through a lengthy finish. Acidity is brisk, tightening up this structured, savoury sauvignon. Beauty now, but will reward with five+ years in the cellar.Tasted: 05 May 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| US | $60.00 | 750ml | estimated retail |
