Tasting notes
The king of the cellar is the 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Hors-Classe Les Ménétrières, a brilliant wine in the making that unfurls in the glass with notes of peach, pear, confit citrus, hazelnuts, nutmeg, vanilla pod and light reduction. Full-bodied, ample and satiny, with a textural attack that segues into a layered and enveloping core, this concentrated, vibrant wine concludes with a long, resonant finish.

The 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Ménétrières 1er Cru, a blend of three parcels (marl, limestone and clay soils intermixed), has the most complex bouquet amongst Ferret's 2020s. Lovely chamomile and crushed stone scents, a touch of orange blossom, though still a little backward. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and fresh, lemon verbena and a hint of stem ginger towards the persistent finish. Superb.
The 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Ménétrières has a very complex bouquet with honeysuckle and crushed stone on the nose, a lovely leesy scent surfacing with aeration. The palate is vibrant on the entry and is quite powerful and grippy in the mouth. This has a lovely caressing finish with subtle spicy notes becoming more conspicuous with time. Superb.
