- Tasting note
- The 2022 Pascal Jolivet Pouilly Fumé is a vibrant yellow color with a dry focused nose of citrus and gun-flinty minerality. On the palate the wine is medium in body, incredibly precise and layered with clean, driving acidity.

- Vinification
- Manual harvest, southern slopes. Each grape is sorted upon receipt of the harvest, we work by gravity in order to respect the natural circuit of vinification. We make a light press and only keep the juices from the gout and the heart of the press. Natural vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and aging for 8 months on fine lees.
