    The Domaine JA Ferret Pouilly-Fuissé 2021 displays a brilliant, pale yellow color with silvery highlights. The nose, remarkably pure, opens with aromas of white flowers, flint, and citrus. On the palate, the texture is precise and taut, supported by a beautiful mineral structure and perfectly integrated acidity. The finish is long and saline, with a touch of fresh hazelnut that is characteristic of the great terroirs of Fuissé.

    Producer

    The Domaine JA Ferret vineyard covers approximately fifteen hectares in the heart of the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation, on predominantly limestone and clay-limestone soils. These complex, often sloping terroirs allow for excellent ripening of the Chardonnay grapes. The vines, several decades old, are carefully cultivated using sustainable farming practices to preserve biodiversity and the natural balance. This respect for the soil and the vine is reflected in each vintage by its great finesse and beautiful minerality.

    Owner and history

    Since 2008, Domaine JA Ferret has been owned by Maison Louis Jadot, under the direction of Frédéric Barnier. Thanks to their precise and respectful approach to each vineyard site, the team perpetuates the legacy of Jeanne Ferret, a pioneer of single-vineyard bottling in Pouilly-Fuissé. Their commitment to sustainable viticulture and meticulous winemaking allows them to accurately express the unique character of each terroir. Today, JA Ferret is among the leading producers in the Mâconnais region.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Domaine JA Ferret is in the pure Burgundian tradition: gentle pressing, fermentation in oak barrels with indigenous yeasts, then aging for 10 months on lees.
    The 2021 Pouilly-Fuissé vintage is aged half in oak barrels, some of which are new, and half in stainless steel tanks, in order to preserve both the brightness of the fruit and the aromatic complexity, while ensuring a beautiful finish on the palate.

    The team's opinion

    This 2021 vintage from Domaine JA Ferret reveals all the purity of Chardonnay on the beautiful terroirs of Pouilly-Fuissé, between precision, finesse and depth.
