Domaine Ferret Pouilly Fuissé 2020

A blend of the best parcels – half of the blend aged in 2-5 year old barrels and the results shows great balance between weight and freshness.  Layers of subtle notes combine stone fruits, acacia flowers and spiced hazelnut butter.

A hugely respected producer in this region making exemplary Pouilly Fuissé from old vines in excellent vineyard sites, meticulous wine making and the knowledge gained over 180 years of wine production in this region.

Production notes – Soil: Within this one cuvée you can find a snapshot of Fuissé’s geological complexity. A third of the vines are grown on west-facing granit soil – a mixture of schists, volcanic sedimentary sands and rhyolitic tuff – the remainder, which face east, are mostly planted on limestone and Jurassic marls, but there are also some deposits of clay.

Production notes – Vines: Planted between 2017 and 1947, a little more than 70 years separate the youngest vines from the oldest. The average age is 40 years. You might like to know that one of the oldest plots used in this cuvée (Les Vernays, planted in 1955) is the source of the massal selection made by the domaine.

All Domaine Ferret wines are made in a sustainable way, following organic viticutural practices.

Three labels of Pouilly Fuissé are produced from the Domaine – Classic, Tête de Cru and Hors Classé. In simple terms they represent an unofficial village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru classification based on the quality and personality of the wines produced from the different, specific sites.
