Domaine Pascal JolivetPouilly-Fumé Indigène 2023

About this wine

Pascal Jolivet's Pouilly-Fumé Indigène is a stunning expression of Sauvignon Blanc from one of the Loire Valley's most respected appellations. This 2023 vintage captures the essence of its terroir with precision and elegance, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to explore what makes Loire whites so special.

On the nose and palate, expect vibrant notes of citrus and white flowers, followed by that characteristic flinty minerality that Pouilly-Fumé is famous for. The wine shows beautiful freshness with hints of grapefruit and green apple, balanced by a subtle herbaceous quality that adds complexity without overpowering. At 13.5% alcohol, it maintains a lovely balance between body and drinkability.

This wine shines alongside fresh goat cheese (especially local Crottin de Chavignol), grilled fish, or seafood dishes like oysters and prawns. Serve it slightly chilled at around 10-12°C to fully appreciate its crisp, mineral character. It's also wonderful with asparagus or a simple herb-roasted chicken.
