PASCAL JOLIVET

Pascal Jolivet Pouilly Fume 2019

Trust your Taste

Peach, honeysuckle and citrus give this Pouilly-Fumé a fragrant opening. Smooth texture is balanced by a fresh finish. Try it with fish or seafood if you enjoy Loire Sauvignon with gentle fruit and a little roundness.

?

Moderate weight, little grip and delicate fruit with smooth freshness favour Sensitive palates. PalateKey groups wines by how they feel, helping you find styles you enjoy. Your own taste comes first.

This suits you if you enjoy smooth Loire Sauvignon with peach, florals and balanced freshness.

It may not suit you if you prefer very neutral whites or a rich, buttery texture.

How this wine feels

This feels medium in weight and smoothly rounded, with very little grip. Freshness keeps the peach and citrus defined through the finish. It is a softer-textured expression of a fresh white style.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
