Pascal Jolivet - Pouilly-Fumé Val de Loire

Pascal Jolivet Pouilly-Fumé hails from the prestigious Pouilly-Fumé appellation in the heart of the Loire Valley. This elegant white wine is produced from hand-harvested Sauvignon Blanc vines planted on kimmeridgian marl and limestone soils, which impart a signature minerality and crystalline freshness to the wine. Emmanuel Jolivet employs a philosophy of minimal intervention: grapes are gently pressed, fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperatures, and aged briefly on fine lees to enhance texture without masking the fruit’s purity. The result is a vibrant, terroir-driven wine that captures the essence of its origin. On the nose, expect expressive aromas of gooseberry, lemon zest, white peach, and subtle floral notes, intertwined with wet stone and subtle smokiness. The palate is lively and well-structured, with zesty acidity framing flavors of green apple, grapefruit, and chalky minerality. The finish is long, clean, and delightfully crisp. With an alcohol content around 13%, Pascal Jolivet Pouilly-Fumé is a versatile companion to raw oysters, grilled scallops, goat cheese salads, sushi, and light poultry dishes. Serve it well-chilled between 8–10 °C to fully appreciate its aromatic complexity and refreshing character. This wine consistently ranks among the top Pouilly-Fumé offerings, making it an essential choice for enthusiasts of Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc.
