DOMAINE JEAN FÉRY & FILS is a family-run winery located in the beautiful village of Échevronne between Beaune and Nuits-Saint- Georges. The vineyards span over 14 hectares (34 acres) from the north to the south of Burgundy in famous appellations.
Jean-Louis took over his parents' estate in 1988 and made his childhood dream come true: providing the family estate with the means to develop further by performing the necessary construction work and investments while purchasing new vineyards. He now dedicates all his time to the vineyards. The vineyards are farmed according the principles of organic farming (they have been certified by ECOCERT since 2011), which requires a great deal of dedication and physical labor. Jean-Louis organizes the work of the labourers in every plot of the estate all year long. His unwavering love for Burgundy’s terroirs leads him to constantly acquire new vineyards in order to enrich the estate’s range of growing areas... and to give everyone pleasure...
The estate is now in the hands of Jean-Louis’s sons, Frédéric and Laurent Féry.
DOMAINE JEAN FÉRY & FILS manages vineyards in many different villages in Burgundy, representing a genuine mosaic of climats over a surface of 14 hectares (34 acres).
Character And Personality
You’ll find the town of Bouzeron in the Côte Chalonnaise, just south of the prestigious Côte d’Or, land of the famous Grand Crus.
The village is one of five prestigious wine-producing communes in the area, and although Bouzeron doesn’t have Premier Cru or Grand Cru sites (yet, the appellation was created fairly recently, in 1997,) it’s terroir shares similarities with the rest of Burgundy: clay-limestone soils and the perfect temperate climate.
Still, unlike other sites in Burgundy, Bouzeron is not known for wines made with Pinot Noir or Chardonnay. Producers here champion the lesser-known but equally noble Aligoté.
This Burgundy Aligoté, aged in oak barrels, stands out with a pale yellow and slightly golden color. On the nose, it offers a range of delicious aromas of white-fleshed fruits, hazelnut, and green apple, sometimes even citrus.
Culinary Recommendation: To serve 12 C - 14 C. It goes well with a hot starter, like melted goat’s cheese pastries “en aumônière” or light fish dishes, grilled or baked “en papillote”. Drink between 2 and 6 years, even longer.
