PASCAL JOLIVET

Pascal Jolivet Pouilly Fume 2021

Trust your Taste

Peach, citrus and honeysuckle meet a savoury mineral edge in this Pouilly-Fumé. Its fresh, dynamic palate gives the aromatic fruit a defined finish. Try it if you enjoy Loire Sauvignon with lively fruit and mineral detail.

How this wine feels

This feels medium in weight and clearly fresh, with very little grip. Fruit shares the palate with a savoury mineral note. It is a defined, lively style rather than a creamy one.

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