Description

A magnificent mineral quality!

93/100 pts VINOUS " The bouquet is finer and more mineral than that of Les Perrières, with notes of yellow plum, verbena, and crushed stone that emerge over time. The palate is structured, with lovely substance and a touch of acidic lemon. The finish is saline, quite long, and persistent. This wine could become one of the estate's best 2020s! "

Terroir : The enclosed plot of just over 2 hectares faces east. Marl soils.

Viticulture : 1st year of organic certification

Winemaking & Aging : Fermentation in new oak barrels (1/3), one-year-old barrels (1/3), and two-year-old barrels (1/3) for 10 months. Aging: 25% new oak for 10 months.

Producer

Producer

Clos des Prouges is a historic plot located in the heart of the village of Fuissé, on deep clay-limestone soils typical of the appellation. The vines, over 35 years old, draw all their mineral richness from this terroir. Domaine JA Ferret cultivates its plots using sustainable viticulture practices, with meticulous work in the vineyard to encourage the purest expression of the soil and the vintage in each of its wines.

Owner and history

Since 2008, Domaine JA Ferret has belonged to Maison Louis Jadot, which has continued the work begun by Jeanne Ferret, a grande dame of Mâconnais winemaking. Today, under the technical direction of Frédéric Barnier, the estate perpetuates a precise and elegant style, true to the identity of the Mâconnais region. A commitment to sustainable viticulture, combined with a deep understanding of the terroirs, allows each cuvée, such as Clos des Prouges, to achieve a remarkable expression of Burgundian Chardonnay.

Vinification and aging

At Domaine JA Ferret, winemaking is based on a demanding plot-by-plot approach: each terroir is vinified separately in oak barrels or in vats according to its characteristics.
For the 2020 Clos des Prouges, fermentation in barrels followed by 10 months of aging on the lees allows the wine to gain complexity and texture. This meticulous care reveals the depth of the Chardonnay and refines the characteristic minerality of the appellation.

The team's opinion

This Pouilly-Fuissé reveals a striking harmony between the minerality of the terroir and the aromatic richness of the Chardonnay, a purity that charms from the first sip.
