Pascal Jolivet is a family-owned estate in France's Loire Valley, with roots dating to 1926. Pascal Jolivet founded the eponymous brand in 1987 and still manages the house. The domaine owns about 180 hectares of vineyards (120 ha in Sancerre/Pouilly-sur-Loire and 60 ha in Touraine) and produces around 900,000 bottles annually. Winemaking follows a strict natural philosophy: 100% indigenous yeasts, organic vinification, very low sulphur, minimal intervention, and long lees aging. Since 2016, the estate has been farmed organically. The style is defined by balance, freshness, and precision, focusing on Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé terroirs.
