The vineyards of Pouilly-Fumé are located 200 km south of Paris on the right bank of the Loire River. Domaine Pascal Jolivet covers 8 hectares divided between the communes of Tracy and Les Loges. The proximity of the Loire River creates a special microclimate.
From the best terroirs of Pouilly, Indigène benefits from grapes sourced from vineyards located on stony, silicon-rich soils.
Fermentation is with indigenous yeasts and aging on lees for 12 months. It is then bottled without the wine being filtered or stabilized.
Mineral and complex, fine and elegant, Pouilly Fumé wine is powerful yet fresh and noble.
100% Sauvignon Blanc
The Jolivet family has been active in the wine business since 1926, when it began as négociant. It would be necessary to wait until 1987 and the arrival of Pascal Jolivet to see the birth of the wines that bear his name.Right away Pascal Jolivet established himself as a dynamic and revolutionary exponent having decided to exclusively vinify his Sauvignon Blancs with indigenous yeasts to better express the typical varietal characteristics. In a short time, Pascal Jolivet wines established themselves on the international wine scene for their distinct quality.
Today Pascal Jolivet’s estate covers 95 hectares in the villages of Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé and 50 hectares in the Touraine area for the production of Attitude wine. Since 2013 Pascal Jolivet has enlisted the help of a young and talented winemaker of Friulian origin, Valentina Buoso, in the winery, an expert in winemaking with indigenous yeasts and, with equal expertise, in working with Sauvignon Blanc.
