Domaine Ferret Pouilly Fuisse Clos des Prouges is made from grapes sourced from a 2 hectare specific vineyard site in Domaine Ferret’s vineyards located in the natural amphitheatre that surrounds the village of Fuissé itself. Clos des Prouges is situated right in the centre of the village of Fuissé.
Domaine J A Ferret is located in the heart of the village of Fuissé in the Maconnais wine-growing subregion of southern Burgundy. Domaine Ferret can trace its history back to its foundation in 1840, way before the official creation of the Pouilly Fuisse AOC in 1936. Jeanne Ferret was responsible for establishing their Tete de Cru and Hors Classes wines, single parcel wines from the best vineyard sites that the domaine has become renowned for.
After World War II, Madame Ferret was also responsible for moving from bulk wine production to bottling the wines at the Domaine at a time when this was not the done thing. Domaine Ferret remained in the Ferret family until 2008 when the domaine was acquired by Maison Louis Jadot. Today the property’s vineyards cover 17 hectares of the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation. The winery practices sustainable viticulture, focusing on soil health and biodiversity. The current winemaker is Clement Robinet, the first male winemaker in the estate’s history.
The Clos is just over two “hectares” in size and is planted on a shallow slope that faces east. Although a small parcel of vines was planted in 2003, most of the vineyard dates back to 1956, and is therefore more than 65 years old, making it one of the oldest owned by the domain. It is planted on soils derived from limestone-rich marls deposited during the upper Bathonian period.
Domaine Ferret Pouilly Fuisse Clos des Prouges is barrel fermented and aged: 25% were new barrels with 75% in 2nd, 3rd and 4th use barrels. Maturation lasted 10 months, then the wine spent a further 7 months in stainless steel tanks on fine lees.
From Domaine Ferret: “smoky notes but also dry hazelnut and acacia is a singer of voluptuousness and expresses itself with strength and complexity. In the mouth, this cuvée is distinguished by its power and persistence.”
Try with snails in puff pastry, veal steak in sauce, goats cheeses and hard cows cheeses.
