“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference!”
Sir Winston Churchill
Loire Valley is the home of Sauvignon Blanc where Pascal Jolivet manages 600ha of vineyards to produce this authentic wine called Attitude.
The Genesis
Since 2001, Pascal Jolivet has engaged a profound reflection on Attitude. The idea was to create a high quality Loire collection not especially from Sancerre area but from the Loire Valley, the best terroir in the world for the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety. Pascal Jolivet's dedication to this grape led him to a rich region in terms of history and heritage, near the gorgeous Châteaux of Cheverny and Chambord.
A Unique Style
Essentially composed of 5 plots, our vineyard has been expanded over 30 hectares of limestone and flint since 2016. Attitude is the result of this reflection and of the natural know-how of Pascal Jolivet Domaine. Its identity and its originality give a unique style these Pascal Jolivet wines.
Balance, freshness and precision: the Pascal Jolivet Style
When the terroir, the know-how and the patience reveal and sublimate the complexities of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.
"Talent and taste are not enough, only style counts" P. Cardin
Rated 90 Points by Maxis Wine
Fresh and clean entry with nimble flavors of apple and light melon. Refreshing with ample texture and a long finish. O.
Pascal Jolivet Attitude
Sauvignon Blanc Touraine 2020
This "vin de pays" results from vines planted on the most beautifully managed soils close to the area of the Loire castle, Touraine.
Tasting Notes
“Attitude” has a beautiful freshness in mouth, a frank attack, delicate green and lemon flavours, citrus fruits, green apple and kiwi aromas. The minerality gives a long finish to the wine, a smoothness and elegance.
Food Pairing
Very pleasant with or without food, in particular with seafood, asparagus, roasted fish and goat's milk cheese.
Pascal Jolivet Attitude Sauvignon Blanc Touraine Description
Pascal Jolivet
The house of Pascal Jolivet was founded in 1987 and is one of the most dynamic domaines in France’s Loire Valley. Based in Sancerre, the domaine now owns over 120 acres of prime vineyards spread across the appellations of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé.
The domaine supplements the estate holdings with additional fruit sourced from some of the prime terroirs of the region including “les Caillotes”, “le Chêne Marchand”, “les Terres Blanches”, “les Griottes”, and “le Clos du Roy”.
Sancerre wines originate from three soil types: clay, limestone and flint. Sancerre wines are more floral and elegant than wines of the same varietal type in other regions. Pouilly Fumé wines come from an area located on the right (north) bank of the Loire, which offers a large diversity of subsoils from the Ice Age. Pouilly Fumé wines possess characteristic flinty aromas (pierre à fusil), and are slightly rounder and creamier than Sancerre wines. The latter, grown on the left (south) bank of the Loire, exhibit more floral aromas and are bone dry.
Pascal Jolivet also produces a wine called Attitude, a Sauvignon Blanc produced on a single 57-acre estate located to the west of Sancerre in Touraine. This estate’s vines are planted in two distinct terroirs: Chémery, with limestone soils, and Anger sur Cher, with sandy soils. The Attitude wine range also includes a Pinot Noir and a Rosé; the latter is a blend of one-third Pinot Noir, one-third Gamay and one-third Cabernet. Overall, the Attitude trio is made with the same winemaking philosophy, care and focus, as are all Pascal Jolivet’s wines.
Pascal Jolivet is a firm believer in natural winemaking and practices environmentally friendly techniques in both the vineyard and the cellar. The philosophy of the estate is to let nature take its course as much as possible. The juices are fermented with wild yeasts in stainless steel tanks with thermoregulation.
Valentina Buoso is Pascal Jolivet’s new winemaker and she continues to fulfill Pascal Jolivet’s philosophy and practices.
