Mâcon-Fuissé J.A. Ferret (Domaine) 2016

The wine

The Mâcon-Fuissé from Ferret comes from two separate parcels in the appellation where the vines are aged around 20 to 25 years. Fermentation and élevage takes pace in stainless steel vats on the lees and then on fine lees. The resulting wine is elegant, offering beautiful aromas of fresh hazelnuts. Matches beautifully with trout.

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.
