($26, Wildman): It seems that as Sancerre continues to grow in popularity, more of them reflect the varietal, Sauvignon Blanc, than the chalky minerality for which the appellation is rightly known.  Thankfully, Jolivet manages to capture the uniqueness of the area with this wine’s mélange of herbaceous pungency underpinned by the classical chalkiness that defines Sancerre.  A hint of green apple-like acidity keeps it refreshingly bright. 89 Michael Apstein Jun 3, 2008
