- It is a rich, complex wine with aromas of exotic fruit complemented by subtle hints of vanilla. The palate is round buttery, with ripe apricot flavours enveloped in delicate oak nuances through a long finish. The 2022 vintage was dry, hot and early. Warm spring weather resulted in early flowering, and the heat continued into summer. Localised thunderstorms brought water and some hail at the end of June, July, and August, among the hottest and driest months of the last 30 years. The weather conditions enabled the vines to remain in exceptional health throughout the season. The grapes were harvested in good, healthy condition and showed excellent ripeness and luscious fruit characteristics.
The grapes were pneumatically pressed before being decanted to temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, where fermentation occurred. 30% of the wine was then aged on its lees in new French oak casks, with a weekly bâtonnage for additional weight, texture and creaminess in the final wine. The wine was racked, blended and lightly filtered prior to being bottled.

| Winery | Domaine Ferrand is run by Nadine Ferrand who has managed the estate since 1984. Through her courage, determination and intuition, she has developed and transformed the 11.5-hectare vineyard in the heart of the Pouilly Fuissé. In 2012, Nadine was joined by her eldest daughter, Marine, the fourth generation, to work in the family business. Having worked in the wine industry in the United States, Marine has brought innovative ideas while continuing the family philosophy of “expressing Chardonnay with a feminine touch”. Domaine Ferrand holds the Haute Valeur Environmental Level 3 certification, which officially recognises the environmental performance of winegrowers, including biodiversity conservation, plant protection strategies, managed fertiliser use and water resource management. The vineyard sits in the heart of the appellation on sunny slopes at an altitude of 250 to 300 metres above sea level. It is home to 60-year-old vines that are Cordon trained and grown in chalky, limestone, and heavy clay soils from the Jurassic period. |
