Domaine J.A. Ferret

Domaine Ferret, located in the heart of the most renowned vineyards of the Fuissé amphitheater, was founded in 1840. Louis Jadot acquired this 18-hectare estate in 2008. Today, Audrey Braccini carries on the estate’s tradition of winemaking expertise.

The estate’s vineyards cover a total of 17 hectares within the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation. The range of rock types in Fuissé is the widest in the appellation, and Domaine Ferret, whose plots are spread throughout the Fuissé region, is one of its finest ambassadors: The soils can be thin, derived from hard limestone, possibly with chalk, or they can be clayey, derived from marl, schist, or volcanic-sedimentary sandstone.

At Domaine Ferret, making a great wine means above all respecting the heritage, the land, and the people—those who drink the wine and those who cultivate the vines. The vines and the surrounding wildlife are closely observed, and the presence of beneficial organisms in the vineyard is encouraged. Plowed, sometimes grassed over, but always listened to, each vineyard at Domaine Ferret is tended according to its specific needs. A tailored approach is therefore essential.
