Pascal spent years in Champagne and brought all that knowledge and expertise to the Loire Valley. Pascal is passionate about Sauvignon Blanc and he knows first-hand that “the grape is wild and whimsical—it must be tamed to bring out its true personality”. His single-minded focus on Sauvignon Blanc launched the Pascal Jolivet label into fame and onto the tables of the finest restaurants around the world. Les Franches is both intense and delicate and is a unique expression of Sancerre—and Pascal’s talent.
Geography
Varietal / Type
Sauvignon Blanc is an international white grape variety that originates in France. It’s long been used to make world-class wines from Bordeaux and the Loire Valley. Yet in recent decades, Sauvignon Blanc has become an everyday favorite thanks to the New World winemakers of New Zealand.
With its distinctive, vivid aromas and zesty acidity, Sauvignon Blanc is easy to peg in a blind tasting of dry white wines. The wine’s green, herbaceous and fruity scents are sometimes accented with musky aromas, yet its flavors are consistently fresh and bright.
