An old-vines selection from silex parcels in Tracy-sur-Loire, the 2016 Pouilly-Fumé Indigène has a clear, fresh and stony nose that is also concentrated in its subtle bright fruit aromas. Tight and fresh on the palate, with enormous grip yet also a dense core that is still locked up, this is a concentrated, tight and lime-fresh Pouilly that is not at its peak right now but shall improve with aeration to gain some texture and charm.
Powerful and full-bodied. Opens with a waft of generous grapefruit and lemon citrus, followed by notes of slate and gun-flint. Secondary flavours of green apple, pear and honey emerge on the palate. Taut and intriguing with an attractive mouthfeel and pronounced minerality. Rich, deep and age-worthy.

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 recognisable 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 practices extend from the vineyard to the careful handling of the fruit post harvest 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
