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
To produce this great wine, Domaine Jean Féry and Sons harvests the grapes from two parcels of vines that he owns on the place called "Les Damodes" located on the village of Nuits-Saint-Georges.
The "Damodes" perpetuate the memory of deities of Gallo -Roman antiquity: mother goddesses protecting crops would have been venerated here.
The grapes are sorted, de-stemmed (100%) and then put in vats. Total vatting lasts between 15 and 18 days with a cold 4-5 day pre-fermentation maceration. A daily pigeage will be carried out all along the vatting that will last about 20 days. After racking the wine is put in barrels (30% new cask with light heating) for the breeding which lasts approximately 15 months. The bottling is done after a light filtration, without prior gluing.
Brilliant black cherry colour. The aroma exhales flavours of fresh and sharp fruits (raspberry redcurrant). In the mouth it is fresh and subtle. Complex, rich, elegant, plump and harmonious wine. Wine to be tasted young or aged.
Culinary Recommendation: To serve 16 C - 18 C. This wine with nice red meat cooked in sauce or a gratin of autumnal vegetables such as butternut squash or mushrooms.
