A crystalline and complex wine crafted by one of the Loire’s up-and-coming domains
More infoUtopia is this domain’s natural cuvée. 2017 is the first of these vintages that has been commercialised. The terroir where the grapes were grown is an old plot on the side of a slope exposed to the south-west with sparse soil. This makes for a concentrated wine with a complex nose that brings together aromas of pear, quince and some spices. This is a crystalline wine that retains a certain freshness on the palate. It will pair nicely with a fine Comté.

About the Producer Jonathan Didier Pabiot
Jonathan Pabiot started his winemaking business with three hectares of wines in 2005, handed down to him by his grandfather. In 2010, he merged with his father’s 15-hectare property. Today, Domaine Jonathan Didier Pabiot covers 15 hectares where Sauvignon Blanc mainly grows (85%) along with the little-know variety called Chasselas (15%).
The vines are tended to with care using organic and biodynamic methods. In the winery, there is little intervention to vinification, which allows the grapes and terroirs to shine. Ageing mainly takes place in stainless steel or concrete vats and for the finest wines, wooden barrels are also used to complement their structure and cellaring potential. Sulphur is limited during bottling. Jonathan creates vibrant, pure wines and is a rising star to follow closely.
