The finish is also accompanied by mineral hints of the soils dominated by marl and limestone.

Vinification of the Pascal Jolivet Les Caillottes

The basis for the elegant Les Caillottes from the Val de Loire are grapes from the grape variety Sauvignon Blanc. In the Val de Loire, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of limestone, silicate rock and marl. Obviously, Les Caillottes is also defined by more than just the Sancerre soil. This Frenchman can literally be described as an Old World wine that is exceptionally fragrant. When perfect physiological ripeness is assured, the grapes for Les Caillottes are harvested exclusively by hand without the aid of crude and less selective machinery. After the harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The vinification is followed by aging on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally drawn into bottles.
