Jean-Christophe Jezequel, VDF Sauvignon Blanc 2020

100% Sauvignon Blanc

Loire Valley, France

Certified Organic. Sourced from two different parcels, one of younger vines on clay the other old vines on limestone, it is pressed then fermented in tank. After this it is raised in neutral oak barrels for around eighteen months before bottling. This will be arguably one of the top wines at the domaine.

Jean-Christophe released his first vintage in 2019. For years he has grown organic grapes on his beautiful property in Faverolles-sur-Cher, overlooking the Cher river and sold them to winemakers in the surrounding area. Before striking off on his own, JC staged with Pascal and Moses of Les Capriades, Hervé Villemade, and Jerome Lenoir. The first vintage he decided to vinify was 2017, and with guidance from Pascal Potaire, moved into Pascal's old cellar a few kilometers away and began experimenting. We think he's going to become one of the great stars of the Loire Valley.
