Description

Situated in the heart of Fuiss, Domaine Ferret has long been a producer of top Pouilly-Fuiss cuves. The estate was managed by the Ferret family from its founding in 1840 until it was purchased by Louis Jadot in 2008. The Pouilly-Fuiss is a blend of only the best vineyard parcels with ten to thirty five-year-old vines from the Fuiss amphitheater and soils composed of limestone and clay. Each parcel was vinified separately to ensure the finest expression of the fruit. Half the wine was fermented in enameled tanks and half in two to four-year-old oak barrels. The wine was aged for ten months on lees in French oak barrels, not new, from Tronais, Vosges and Nevers stave wood.Subtle notes include minerals, yellow fruits, flowers, fresh hazelnuts and spices, with an intense finish. The perfect equilibrium of this wine allows it to retain its vibrancy with age.Pair with fresh shellfish, seafood risotto, grilled or pan-fried fish, veal cutlets with creamy sauces and cheeses, especially goat or hard cow’s milk cheeses.
