Pascal Jolivet: Tasting & Drinking
Having tasted a range of the wines it seems to me that Pascal Jolivet has achieved much here; in just a couple of decades he has built up a miniature empire of vineyards and joined the upper ranks of the Sancerrois. His wines are well placed; they can be found on the lists of top class restaurants all over the world. But any dream of usurping the appellation leaders from their positions is, as yet, unrealised I think. These are dependable wines, tasty and worthy of good scores, and I would be delighted to drink them at dinner. They are certainly better than many produced in the appellation, but equally there are those producers that still exceed the quality provided here, even from Jolivet’s top cuvées.
