General Information
With respect for tradition, the Pascal Jolivet winery has managed to imprint a personal style on all its creations. Pascal Jolivet Pouilly-Fumé 2022 is a magnificent example of this, showcasing the expression of the rich terroir of its appellation of origin and a minimally interventionist winemaking process.
Specifically, for the production of Pascal Jolivet Pouilly-Fumé 2022, sauvignon blanc grapes were selected from different soils: 50% on limestone, 30% on flint, and the remaining 20% on clay-limestone soil. Each plot was vinified separately in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks to preserve the minerality, finesse, fruit presence, richness, and structure contributed by each of these soils. After the final blending, a complex, expressive, elegant, and timeless wine was obtained, especially recommended to pair with all kinds of fish, seafood, and goat cheeses.
The winery
Winery
Pascal Jolivet is a winery based in Sancerre, on the left bank of the Loire River. It was founded in 1987 by the winemaker Pascal Jolivet. In 1991, the winery produced its first vintage, characterized by the use of 100% indigenous yeasts and temperature control during fermentation. Soon, the distinctive style of Pascal Jolivet's wines began to be appreciated by specialized critics, with some of its creations making it onto the list of the 100 best wines of the magazine Wine Spectator for two consecutive years, 1995 and 1996.
Currently, the winery owns 65 hectares of sauvignon blanc vineyards, spread across the appellations of Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, and Touraine, and features new, modern gravity-fed winemaking facilities, from grape reception to bottling.
