Jolivet's Attitude Sauvignon Blanc always looks, smells, and tastes a lot like Sancerre, but it costs a fraction of the price.
Possessing a wonderful mix of fruit, mineral, and zippy acidity, this is textbook Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. Brimming with green apple, lemon, kiwi, white flowers, and wet rock, it is elegant and precise to its core, and I love it.
I love the price too. This one is on deal for $19.99/bottle (no further discounts) through Christmas Eve. That's a great price, and I invite you to look it up online -- you'll see that our price is beating some big retail players.....
Despite the fact that Pascal Jolivet's estate isn't that old (founded in 1985), it is one of the most dynamic operations in the Loire Valley. Pascal owns and farms 40 acres divided evenly between Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, and his wines grace the lists at many Michelin-starred restaurants throughout Europe and beyond.
His Attitude Sauvignon Blanc comes from vineyards in Chemery en Touraine, a bit west of Sancerre, and the vines are planted on soils of limestone, clay, and flint. That's the same "dirt" you'll find in Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé, but land is much cheaper in Touraine, and that's why this wine comes to you at such a great price.
Fermented in tank with native yeasts and aged on the lees for 5 months, this "Baby Sancerre" is elegant, refined, and delicious. There's loads of citrus to keep things fresh, but there's also some stone fruit notes that give the palate a slightly rounder feel.
Just a bit more fruit-driven than his Sancerre, Jolivet's Attitude Sauvignon Blanc still has that signature minerality that lets you know it came from the vineyards of the Loire Valley. Have this with trout, oysters, or sushi for a wonderful food and wine experience.
$19.99/bottle is the best price -- no further discounts. Get 6, you'll be glad you did.
