Pascal Jolivet is one of the most dynamic and forward thinking producers in the Loire Valley. He started making his Grand Vins du Val de Loire in 1982, later establishing his own Maison Pascal Jolivet in 1987. Specialising in the wines of Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé, Pascal has very quickly gained a formidable reputation and loyal customers amongst leading Michelin starred restaurants in France and around the world.  The vineyards of Sancerre are situated 200 km to the South of Paris on hilly countyside between 200 and 400 meters altitude.

The Pascal Jolivet Domaine covers 49.50 acres of Sancerre, with vineyards close to the villages of Bué, Verdigny and Ste Gemme. The Loire to the East bank and the surrounding forest create a relatively mild micro climate for the vineyards.  A wine of style marked by richness, elegance and smoothness. This wine is powerful and presents a perfect balance.  Match this with  water fish dishes, shellfish and goats’ cheeses’ will prove to be a compelling match, demonstrating the full expression and minerality of this Sancerre.
