Pascal Jolivet Sancerre le Grand Chemarin 2014

One of Jolivet's single-vineyard wines, this comes from a south-facing parcel in the heartland of Sancerre. It is a classic fruity wine, but is developing an opulent character that brings in spice as well as wonderfully ripe flavors. The wine is very drinkable now, although still young and with a great future.

From the oldest vines in the Jolivet holdings in this vineyard, this wine is rich with melon and apricot, and crisp with citrus. Combined, the two elements have created an intense wine that hints at a herbal character but is richer, honeyed and wonderfully ripe.
