Star bright pale straw. Inviting nose of stony lime zest. Medium light palate yields lime (the fruit), lime (the mineral), and green apple peel supported by striking firm acidity from entry to moderate finish. Jolivet acquired this small (8 hectares) property in 2015 and the investment is definitely paying off. This is a premium Sancerre from a top producer that’s ready for shellfish, sushi, or soft cheeses (I’m having Professor’s Brie and two others). Drink now through 2025.

A compelling Sancerre, a must-have in your cellar. Quite impressive zesty and delicate notes of lemon peel, beautiful acidity with an extraordinary clean mouthfeel, crisp to the very end. Among the best to pair with raw fish. This comes from a small operation with an amazing location. By far, the best one in the mid-high-end Sancerre.
