Pouilly-Fuissé J.A. Ferret (Domaine) Cuvée spéciale Hors Classe 1996

The wine

The Pouilly-Fuissé from Domaine Ferret is a blend of the best parcels situated around Fuissé amphitheatre. 10 to 35-year-old vines grow in clay and limestone rich soil. Vinifcation and élevage take place half in stainless steel vats, half in oak and the wine is bottled only as the moon is waning. This wine has aromas of fruit, white flowers and verbena. In the mouth it is mineral, balanced, fresh and well rounded. Enjoy it with sea food, poultry or goats 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.
