Pouilly-Fuissé Tête de Cru Les Ménétrières J.A. Ferret (Domaine) 2014

The wine

Founded in 1840, Domaine Ferret is located in the natural amphitheatre of Fuissé. Now owned by Louis Jadot, this 18-hectare vineyard is managed by Audrey Braccini, who upholds the domain's tradition of skilful production. This has now become one of the Mâconnais vineyard's most important domains.
The Hors Classe "Les Ménétrières" cuvée is produced from young vines. Fermentation and élevage are conducted in barrels (20 to 30% new wood); the élevage process ends with an eight-month spell in vats on fine lees. The bouquet is fruity and floral, also offering hints of honey and toast. The palate is marked by its richness, generosity and power. A wine which will improve with several years' keeping in the cellar.

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.
