Description
Pascal Jolivet Sancerre Clos du Roy 2019
Pascal Jolivet’s Sancerre Clos du Roy is from a small 0.80 hectare parcel in one of the most prestigious areas of the Sancerre appellation. The vines sit in clay-limestone soils with a southern exposure, enjoying full sun exposure for the entire growing season.
Intense straw yellow colour. Full-bodied, energetic and rich white wine. The bouquet opens with zesty citrus peels, pear, white stone fruit and a dash of honey. The aromas follow through to a fresh and harmonious palate, where hints of aromatic herbs emerge. Intense yet delicate fruit balanced with juicy acidity and a persistent mineral finish. Exceptional and savoury
Pascal Jolivet allows nature to take its course with minimalist and biodynamic vinification methods that reveal the amazing richness and complex minerality of the terroir. This white wine is produced using exclusive native yeasts with maturation on fine lees for 4 months in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks.
