Domaine Ferret Pouilly-Fuissé

Timeless Burgundy. A legacy of elegance in every glass.
Domaine Ferret is more than a winery — it is a cornerstone of Pouilly-Fuissé, shaping the identity of this celebrated appellation for generations. Nestled in the heart of Burgundy’s Mâconnais, the estate has been producing wines since the mid-19th century, and under the pioneering guidance of women winemakers across much of its history, Domaine Ferret built a reputation for refinement, precision, and authenticity. Today, their Pouilly-Fuissé stands as one of the benchmark expressions of Chardonnay in France — pure, poised, and deeply expressive of its terroir.

The wine itself is a study in balance: ripe yet restrained fruit, minerality drawn from ancient limestone soils, and the kind of finesse that only comes from meticulous vineyard care and thoughtful cellar work. For wine lovers in Ireland, opening a bottle of Domaine Ferret Pouilly-Fuissé is not just about drinking Burgundy; it’s about experiencing history in liquid form, a heritage of craftsmanship that elevates every sip. It’s a white wine that feels both luxurious and inviting — equally at home on a special occasion table as it is enhancing a quiet evening with food and conversation.

Why we love it:
There’s something magical about Chardonnay from Pouilly-Fuissé, and Domaine Ferret captures that magic perfectly. It delivers layers of flavour — citrus and orchard fruits, a whisper of floral perfume, and a long mineral finish that speaks of Burgundy’s limestone-rich soils. What makes it special is its harmony: generous yet precise, elegant yet full of character. It’s a bottle that always feels like a treat, the kind of wine you reach for when you want to impress guests, indulge in fine dining at home, or simply savour a taste of Burgundy at its finest.
