Pascal Jolivet Wine
THE GROWTH OF PASCAL
JOLIVET
Encouraged by these successes, a
new cellar was built in 2000,
using the natural, effects of
gravity from harvesting the
grapes to the bottling of the wine.
The estate continued to expand.
Today, It covers 120 hectares
between Sancerre and Pouilly
Fumé, 60 hectares in Touraine for
"Attitude". These 120 hectares
produce 80% of the whole
domain; 20% has been sourced
from faithful growers loyal to
Pascal Jolivet since the 1980s.
Over the years, Pascal has
developed his own much
recognizable pure and elegant
style of wines. Pascal practices a
biodynamic winemaking, which, in
viticultural terms, views the farm
as a cohesive, interconnected
living system; such pratices
extend from the vineyard to the
careful handling of the fruit
postharvest in the winery. In
Jolivet's winery following harvest,
vinification begins with light must
settling followed by juice
fermentation with indigenous
yeasts; next maturation on lees is
fundamental for the concentration
and the complexity of all Jolivet
wines. The process is extremely
natural and the slow
fermentations nourish and
sustainably stabilise the wines
using very low levels of sulphur.
A SINGULAR IDENTITY
Over the years, the uniqueness of
Jolivet wines is due to constant
attention to detail.
In 2013, following the departure
of Jean Luc Soty (he moved back
to his family in Macon and work
now in a laboratory), Pascal hires
a young and talented oenologist,
Valentina Buoso who has carried
out in depth research on
indigenous yeasts. Through such
work, Pascal aims to enhance the
fruit character in his wines, along
with their elegance and precision.
The initiative is a success.
Valentina has done a remarkable
job since her first vintage in 2013
. The Sancerre wine is extremely
pure and refined with a highly
praised, subtle character. Jolivet’s
Pouilly Fumé wines, in contrast to
Sancerre, are full-bodied and rich
in character. Both Sancerre and
Pouilly Fumé are vived and well-
integrated.
In 2016, continuing his quest to
attain ultimate authenticity in his
wines, Pascal launches a
partnership with Dauny family.
Pioneering organic viticulture
from 1966 on, Benoit Dauny is
given supervision over the 50
hectares of the Domaine by
Pascal who relies on his 50 years
of organic viticulture experience.
Henceforth, the domaine will
produce organic grapes. |
