Founded in 1987, Pascal Jolivet is one of the most dynamic estates in France's Loire Valley. Located in Sancerre, the estate now owns seventy hectares of vineyards spread across the Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé appellations. Since 2001, Pascal Jolivet has been involved with the Attitude line. The idea was to create a high-quality Loire Valley collection, not specifically from the Sancerre region, but from the Loire Valley, the world's finest terroir for the Sauvignon Blanc grape. Pascal Jolivet's dedication to this grape led him to a region rich in history and heritage, near the magnificent châteaux of Cheverny and Chambord.
The vineyard consists primarily of five plots and has been expanded since 2016 to cover thirty hectares of limestone and flint. Attitude is the result of this reflection and the natural expertise of Pascal Jolivet Domaine. His identity and originality give these Pascal Jolivet wines a unique style.
After harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed. The juice is then fermented in stainless steel with natural yeasts at sixteen degrees Celsius to preserve the grapes' aromatic compounds for forty days. After fermentation, the wine is aged on the lees for another two months before bottling.
The aroma is vibrant, with notes of lime, grapefruit, green apple, and kiwi. The taste reflects the Touraine wine region's style, with lovely crisp, dry notes and ripe nuances of apple, citrus, and passion fruit. The mineral notes, finesse, and elegance are characteristic of Pascal Jolivet's wines.
