Description

A Premier Cru "Hors Classe" that could be a Grand Cru! Great aging potential.

92/100 pts VINOUS " The 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Tournant de Pouilly 1er Cru is very serene, but there is clearly hidden intensity just waiting to be expressed with age. The palate is well-balanced, with lovely acidity thanks to the limestone soil and a touch of chalkiness that emerges on the finish. Delicious. "

94/100 pts RP " The 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Tournant de Pouilly performs well, with aromas of pear, mandarin oil, hazelnuts, freshly baked bread, and iodine. A full and fleshy palate, satiny and complex, with lively acidity and an elegantly muscular profile. "

Terroir : This cuvée comes from two plots (1 hectare in total) north of Fuissé, bordering Pouilly. The soil is deep, very calcareous, silty-clay, and not stony, derived from light marl. The vines are sixty years old.

Viticulture : 1st year of organic certification

Winemaking & Aging : fermentation and aging for 10 months in new barrels (1/3), barrels of one wine (1/3) and barrels of two wines (1/3) + 6 months in stainless steel tanks.

Domaine JA Ferret is one of the historical jewels of the Mâconnais region, in southern Burgundy. Located in the heart of Pouilly-Fuissé, this iconic estate has established itself among the benchmarks of the appellation thanks to meticulous plot selection and precise winemaking.

Notes and pairings

Tasting notes

This 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru displays a clear, pale gold color. The nose opens with floral aromas of honeysuckle and hawthorn, complemented by flinty notes. On the palate, the attack is lively and taut, with a chalky texture and lovely freshness. The long, persistent finish reveals a saline touch typical of the limestone terroir, offering a remarkable balance between richness and tension.

Food & wine pairings

Perfect with roasted turbot, pan-fried scallops or green asparagus risotto.
Producer

Producer

The Domaine JA Ferret vineyard rests on limestone and clay-limestone soils typical of the Pouilly-Fuissé region, with an ideal exposure on a gentle southeast-facing slope. The vines, some several decades old, benefit from deep root systems that impart a pronounced minerality to the wine. In the Les Reisses – Tournant de Pouilly climat, the grapes are harvested at perfect ripeness to reflect the unique character of this terroir, one of the finest in the Mâconnais region.

Owner and history

Founded in the 19th century, Domaine JA Ferret has experienced a resurgence since its acquisition by Maison Louis Jadot in 2008. Thanks to the expertise of this iconic Burgundy house and the dedication of its technical team, the estate has adopted an exemplary quality approach. Each wine is vinified with respect for the terroir, with a vision focused on elegance, sustainability, and showcasing the finest vineyards of Pouilly-Fuissé, recently classified as Premier Cru.

Vinification and aging

Domaine JA Ferret practices plot-by-plot vinification, with fermentation in oak barrels, some of which are new, ensuring complexity and balance.
The 2020 Premier Cru Les Reisses is then aged on its lees for 10 months, allowing for a beautiful aromatic patina and a silky structure. This precise approach highlights the purity of the Chardonnay and the mineral character of the terroir.
