Pouilly-Fuissé Tête de Cru Les Perrières J.A. Ferret (Domaine) 2021

The wine

Created in 1840, Domaine Ferret is located in the natural amphitheatre of Fuissé. Today the property of Maison Louis Jadot, this 18-hectare vineyard is administered by Audrey Braccini, who continues the domain’s expertise. It is now an essential Mâconnais domain.
Cuvée Tête de Cru Les Perrières is vinified and aged in barrels (with 20 to 30% new barrels), for 10 months, then élevage takes place in vats on fine lees for 8 months. It offers up a deep and intense nose, with aromas of white and yellow fruit (especially apricot), as well as notes of honeysuckle. The palate unfurls, both full-bodied and creamy, offering up lovely creaminess, with a long and very pure finish.

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.
