Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru Hors Classe Tournant de Pouilly J.A. Ferret (Domaine) 2006
The wine
The Hors Classe Tournant de Pouilly comes from 60-year-old vines. Fermentation and élevage take place in oak (20% to 30% new). Elevage is then finished off in vats on fine lees for 8 months. The nose is subtle and offers aromas of toasted almonds, lime and wax. The mouth is opulent, rich, mineral and refined. The finish combines length, intensity and delicacy. This cuvée has great ageing potential and can be matched with many different foods such as fish, poultry and comté cheese.
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.
