Domain Pascal Jolivet was founded in 1987 and is one of the fastest growing in the Loire Valley in France. Located in Sancerre, the winery has about 50ha of first-class vineyards - both in Sancerre and in Pouilly-Fumé. Interestingly, Pascal Jolivet actually has a family tradition of wine and viticulture - his grandfather Lucien Jolivet was a local producer who used the name Blanc-Fumé on his bottle labels more than 60 years ago. In direct translation, the name means "smoky white", which resonates with the smoky gray hue of the grapes when ripe, as well as the aromas of gunpowder typical of the wine of this terroir. This non-standard tradition in labelling today the grandson is returning again and from 2018 Pascal's wines from the Pouilly-Fumé appellation are called Blanc-Fumé. Pascal Jolivet firmly believes in nature and its power and practices gentle ecological techniques, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. The philosophy of the domain is to allow nature to take its own path and only support it when needed. Fermentation is carried out with wild yeast in stainless steel tanks with thermoregulation.
