At the pinnacle of the vineyard, Domaine Ferret undoubtedly delivers some of the most intense mineral expressions in the Mâconnais. Often compared to "the finest grands crus of the Côte de Beaune" by experts Bettane+Desseauve and awarded 2 stars by the RVF Guide, this estate produces organic, vibrant, and refined whites that are simply irresistible.
With old vines, low yields, and well-judged oak aging, the exceptional quality of these wines continues to improve, especially since the arrival of the brilliant oenologist Audrey Braccini in 2008. As the years go by, the Ferret style remains a benchmark, attracting an ever-growing number of enthusiasts eager to secure a bottle.
