PASCAL JOVILET
Domaine Pascal Jolivet is a wine producer located in the Loire Valley, France. The domaine is known for showcasing the different characteristics of the Loire terroir through a hands-off approach to winemaking and single appellation Sauvignon Blanc bottlings.
The estate has 42 hectares (103.8 acres) in Sancerre, 8 hectares (19.8 acres) in Pouilly-Fumé and 15 hectares (37.1 acres) in Touraine. These 65ha (160 acres) account for 50 per cent of production, with the rest coming from bought-in grapes or grape juice. The grapes - mostly Sauvignon Blanc and some Pinot Noir - are typically hand-harvested and vinified separately according to their origin to allow for terroir expression. Sancerre grapes come from limestone, flint and clay soils, while Pouilly-Fumé grapes come from a wide variety of glacial soils.
