Pascal Jolivet Pouilly Fume CONFIRM VINTAGE

The vineyards of Pouilly are 200 kilometres south of Paris, on the right bank of River Loire. Domaine Pascal Jolivet operate eight hectares of Pouilly Fumé around the villages of Tracy and Les Loges. Soil types vary greatly, Les Loges is very chalky, contributing body and length to the wines, Tracy is rich in silica, adding fruit to the palate and bouquet. Grapes are sorted by hand and crushed, each vineyard parcel is separately handled. Juices are treated to a long and slow vinification through the action of wild native yeasts in temperature controlled fermenters. Upon completion, components are left on sedimentery lees for four to six months, infusing complexity while building structure and adding texture.
