Tasting Notes

"Beautiful lemony fruit, with mineral notes and bright aromas of acacia flowers. On the palate the texture is silky and lively, but there is a pleasant creamy edge to give balance. First-rate Chardonnay. This cuvée is a blend of many parcels over 9.5ha. The grapes were picked at 13% potential alcohol and fermented in stainless steel tanks, with a large percentage of the lees to give it more body - more were used in 2020 than ever before. After fermentation, the wine was aged in used tanks."

92 points - Charles Curtis MW, May 2021

"Here too there is enough wood to merit pointing out setting off the pure, cool and airy aromas of citrus confit, spice and similar essence of pear and apple and petrol. There is a bit more size and weight to the rich and solidly voluminous flavors that possess an attractive mouthfeel that is at once caressing but powerful, all wrapped in a driving, mouthcoating and balanced finish. At least some patience is advised for this youthfully austere effort."

The Producer

Domaine Ferret

Situated in the heart of Fuissé, Domaine Ferret has long been a producer of top Pouilly-Fuissé cuvées, and a benchmark for the region. Under the steadfast leadership of Madame Jeanne Ferret, it was the first domaine after World War II in Pouilly-Fuissé to move from bulk wine production to bottling on the estate, for greater control of quality. Its long-standing focus on vinifying each parcel of vines separately has allowed for the identification of the top terroirs.

Domaine Ferret’s estate vineyards are comprised of 18 hectares throughout the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation; 14 of these are located in the amphitheater of hills surrounding the town of Fuissé and 4 are near the Roche de Vergisson, in the north of the appellation. These terroirs and the relatively low yields, allow the production of exceptional cuvées. The vineyards are managed sustainably with an aim toward an even more rigorous respect for environmental concerns.
