VACHERON<br />
The Vacheron family have been influential in the Sancerre since the turn<br />
of the century, producing both white and red wines using organic and<br />
biodynamic farming methods. Their white Sancerre, made with 100%<br />
Sauvignon Blanc grapes is vibrant with zesty gooseberry flavours and a<br />
long, elegant, mineral finish. They are also well known for their red<br />
Sancerre made from Pinot Noir, which are light bodied and delicately<br />
perfumed with red berry aromas.<br />

CHÂTEAU DE TRACY-POUILLY FUMÉ<br />
This historic estate traces its roots back to 1396. It is currently owned by<br />
the Comte d’Estutt d’Assy. His ancestors came here from Scotland the<br />
15th century to help future King Charles VII of France during the<br />
Hundred Years War. But is not only their history that is deep and complex,<br />
this quality is found in all their wines and especially the top cuvées which<br />
are like dense liquid stone. Since some years back the renowned<br />
consultant wine maker and Professor of Oenology, Denis Dubourdieu is<br />
cinsulting here and his influence has made the wines even more aromatic<br />
and pure.<br />

PASCAL JOLIVET<br />
Pascal Jolivet is a very dynamic and avant-garde producer in the Loire<br />
Valley. He started making his Grand Vins du Val de Loire in 1982, later<br />
established his own Maison in 1987. Today the vineyard covers 28 ha in<br />
Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. To keep up with demand for some of their<br />
entry level wines, they also purchase fruit from long-term contract<br />
growers. The range of wines is extremely extensive with two of the most<br />
exclusive ones: ‘Exception’ - made of very ripe grapes from three top sites<br />
in Sancerre like Mont Damné and Clos du Roy, and ‘Sauvage’ - more racy<br />
and mineral in style and shows a fine linear structure.<br />
