Domaine Pascal JolivetSancerre Les Caillottes 2021

About this wine

Pascal Jolivet's Sancerre Les Caillottes is a beautiful expression of what Sauvignon Blanc can achieve on the limestone-rich soils of the Loire Valley. This is the kind of wine that reminds you why Sancerre has such a stellar reputation among white wine lovers.

On the nose, you'll find vibrant citrus notes of grapefruit and lemon zest, followed by hints of white flowers and a distinctive flinty minerality that speaks to the chalky terroir. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with a lovely balance between zesty acidity and subtle fruit flavors of green apple and passion fruit. The finish is clean and persistent, leaving that characteristic stony note that makes Sancerre so recognizable.

This wine is a natural match for fresh goat cheese, especially a local Crottin de Chavignol, or pair it with grilled fish, seafood platters, or asparagus dishes. Serve it chilled at around 10-12°C to fully appreciate its vibrant character.
