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
The commune of Morey-Saint-Denis is situated at the heart of the Côte de Nuits and counts for no less than 5 Grands Crus (all red). It is the name of one of these, the "Clos Saint-Denis", that Morey added to its own name in 1927 to assert its viticultural identity, as did numerous other villages of the Côte d’Or at the same time such as Vosne- Romanée, Gevrey-Chambertin, Puligny-Montrachet etc
The parcel "Les Champs des Vignes", classified as an AOC village appellation, is situated on gently rising ground, to the north-east of the commune.
The wines of Morey-Saint-Denis provide a lovely transition between those of Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny: they offer a sumptuous balance of strength and finesse, with powerful aromas of small fruits (cherry, blackcurrant).
“These wines have body, colour and bouquet. One can say that they lack nothing”, wrote Docteur Lavalle in 1855 in his Histoire et statistique de la vigne et des grands vins de la Côte d’Or.
Culinary Recommendation: To serve 15 C - 16 C. These wines go easily with dishes of character, such as a rare rib of beef or mature cheeses, but they can also display their velvety side with the delicate flavours of stewed pigeon en cocotte or sole with girolle mushrooms.
