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 laborers 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
The Meursault appellation is characterized by limestone-rich soils, which are ideal for Chardonnay and contribute to the wine's finesse and minerality.
The vineyards are primarily located on slopes with good sun exposure.
Lightly flinty and oaky but the fruit is the heart of the wine.
Citrus, green fruits, with a slight chew in the texture.
Signs of oak on the palate, too, but not overdone. Just a touch of bitterness on the finish, though it is mostly disguised by the creamy texture.
There also seems to be some heat at the finish, which is surprising as the alcohol is on the low side. Lacks some concentration on the mid palate.
Culinary Recommendation: It goes harmoniously with fish in sauce and shellfish. The ideal serving temperature to enjoy this wine is between 12 and 13° C.
