Wine Review: Domaine J A Ferret Pouilly Fuisse 2020

Описание: Today Wine-Searcher's master of wine, David Allen tastes a classic dry white wine from the Maconnais region in the south of Burdundy. He argues that if you love great White Burgundy Pouilly Fuisse from a top producer such as JA Ferret can be a slightly less costly alternative.

Domaine Ferret is located in the Maconnais district of Burgundy. The 18 hectares (45 acres) of estate-owned vineyards are entirely contained within the boundaries of the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation and are planted across the region's full range of terroirs. The portfolio is predominantly focused on single-vineyard and single-parcel wines made from Chardonnay.

The domaine dates back to 1840 and is renowned for its parcel-by-parcel vinification approach introduced by Jeanne Ferret, who owned the company until 1993. Her daughter Colette managed Domaine Ferret up until 2008 when it was purchased by Louis Jadot.

The domaine's diverse soil types vary from poor limestone soils, to richer clays and volcanic pebbles. This geological variation means that there is a lot of variation in Domaine Ferret's wines. The domaine's highest-quality parcels are also blended to produce its generic Pouilly-Fuissé.
