Based in the northern part of Fuissé, just on the borders of the hamlet of Pouilly, the "Tournant de Pouilly" is a vineyard of one hectare in area, split between two parcels, planted on a gentle slope that faces north-east.
This historic vineyard is a part of 1er Cru "Les Reisses"
AGE OF THE VINES: Planted by Jean-Alfred Ferret in 1995, 1963 and 1964, the vines from this parcel are, on average, a little bit older than 60 years old, one of the oldest vineyards owned by the Domaine. A small parcel of 15 "ares" was replanted in the spring of 2018 after having lain fallow for several years. This particular parcel of young vines won't make it into the cuvee for several years to come.
SOIL: This deep clay loam soil contains lots of limestone, but little in the way of stones. It is derived from the pale loams of the Dogger.
VINIFICATION: Fermentations and ageing take place in casks: 25% of new cask, 75% of cask from 1 to 3 wines for 10 months. The ageing continued in stainless steel tanks, always with all their lees for another 9 months. Bottled just like the Ménétrières, at the very last days of march 2022.
TASTING: Always a bit austere and shy at first glance, it is undoubtedly the most "chic" of the selections with its chalky touch and its fresh and persistent finish.
FOOD PAIRING: Scallop ravioli in a mild curry sauce, turbot with hollandaise sauce, John Dory with Szechuan pepper, chicken with a creamy morel sauce, aged Comté.
