Domaine Ferret Pouilly‑Fuissé 2022
A graceful Chardonnay from Domaine Ferret, a historic Mâconnais estate with over 200 years of winemaking tradition. Grown on limestone-rich hillsides, the 2022 vintage offers aromas of white peach, orchard blossom and citrus, with whispers of almond and flint. The palate flows with lemon curd, stone fruit and bright mineral clarity, balanced by fresh acidity and a lingering, elegant finish, capturing both the generosity of Pouilly-Fuissé terroir and the estate's timeless, site-focused craftsmanship. The limestone geology of these hillsides imparts a distinctive salinity and precision that elevates this wine beyond typical regional expressions.
The 2022 demonstrates exceptional balance between richness and restraint, with the structural integrity to develop additional complexity over six to ten years, whilst remaining thoroughly approachable upon release. Its vibrant acidity and mineral-driven profile make it an ideal companion to a wide range of cuisines: shellfish, white fish preparations, poultry with cream sauces, goat's cheese, and vegetable-forward dishes all find natural harmony. Domaine Ferret's unwavering dedication to sustainable viticulture and traditional winemaking methods, evident in the wine's purity and authenticity, reinforces why Pouilly-Fuissé commands respect among serious wine enthusiasts. This is a masterwork of Burgundian Chardonnay that rewards both immediate enjoyment and patient cellaring.
