Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru Hors Classe Les Ménétrières J.A. Ferret (Domaine) 2015

La «cuvée»

This Pouilly-fuissé comes from a stony, clay, loam soil. Fermentation and élevage take place in barrels (1/3 new, 1/3 in one-wine barrels and 1/3 in two-wine barrels), then the process ends with élevage in stainless-steel vats for five months. It offers up aromas of white fruit, quince and notes of honey and toast. The palate is powerful, with wonderful volume.

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.
