Intensity
A very fine Pouilly-Fuissé cru, produced by one of the best domains of the appellation. Rich, powerful and creamy, it charms us with its freshness and fine minerality, but also its slightly toasted and perfectly integrated woodiness.

The wine
Le Clos des Prouges is a small clos of 2 hectares. This cuvée is fermented and matured in oak for 9 months then 5 months in stainless steel vats. Mineral and with chalky aromas, this wine also has notes of fresh fruit. In the mouth it is creamy and ample with lightly toasted notes, power and remarkable tension. A remarkably balanced wine with great ageing potential.
About the Producer J.A. Ferret
Founded in 1840, Domaine Ferret is located in a natural amphitheatre in Fuissé. Owned since 2008 by Maison Louis Jadot, this 17-hectare vineyard is managed by the talented oenologue Audrey Braccini who carries on the domaine's savoir-faire. The vineyard is mostly split up over the commune of Fuissé and there are significant number of old vines. Add to this low yields and rigorous cultivation inspired by biodynamics. Vinifications are natural and take place on a parcel by parcel basis. The wines are vinified and matured in old oak on the lees. This domaine has become a reference in the Mâconnais and never fails to impress the critics.
