The story
In the 1980s the estate expanded into Pouilly‑Fumé (Tracy‑sur‑Loire) with parcels at La Roche and Les Froids. Clément Jolivet officially took over the domaine in April 2021; the 2024 vintage is noted on the domaine website as the first certified organic vintage.
Production philosophy
Organic viticulture and sustainable practices; a low-intervention winemaking approach to showcase the terroir: gentle whole-bunch pressing, separation of press fractions, fermentation in stainless tanks, 600L French oak barrels and 220L Wineglobes; aged one year on fine lees.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards: 13.89 ha of Pouilly‑Fumé at the La Roche lieu-dit (Tracy‑sur‑Loire). Two main parcels: Les Froids and Le champ de l'abreu, planted on former flint quarries; Cretaceous flint‑rich clay soils that give minerality and tension to the wines.
