The 2021 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Ménétrières 1er Cru has a beautiful, expressive bouquet with yellow fruit, white linen and subtle limestone scents, showing fine delineation and beautifully integrated oak (as usual). The palate is well balanced with more weight than Ferret's other cuvées, beautifully balanced with perfectly judged acidity. It fans out on the finish with absolute confidence and should drink well for several years. This wine is a victory in a challenging growing season, though just four barrels were made in this year. Grab what you can.
The 2021 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Ménétrières 1er Cru, reduced to four barrels, has a more leesy bouquet compared to the Tournant de Pouilly. The palate is well balanced with a fine acidic spine, lightly-spiced, good depth with a little more complexity on the finish than the other cuvées. Good potential.
