The wine in this lot has a score of 93 from Robert Parker and the following tasting note -Offering up aromas of lemon oil, white flowers, Anjou pear and crisp green apple, the 2018 Pouilly-Fuissé Tête de Cru Les Perrières is medium to full-bodied, racy and incisive, with fine depth at the core, lively acids and a bright, chalky finish. This has turned out especially well this year. As I've written before, Louis Jadot acquired the Domaine J. A. Ferret, one of the historic reference points for the wines of Pouilly-Fuissé, in 2008. Madame Jeanne Ferret was one of Burgundy's great matriarchs, producing rich, concentrated wines that were harvested late and matured on the lees in oak barrels. Many of the wines produced under her tenure—and that of her daughter—are still drinking well today. Today, the style has changed, but the wines of Domaine Ferret are equally worthy of attention. Winemaker Audrey Braccini is producing fresher, brighter, earlier-harvested interpretations of Pouilly-Fuissé, but they're beautifully balanced, intense and engaging, clearly differentiated by site. The presence of new oak remains decidedly minimal at this address, though the wines see longer élevage on the lees. The 2018 vintage represents another clear success for Braccini and her team, delivering wines of tension and precision. If they're a touch more open-knit and charming than the more muscular, concentrated 2017s, that simply means they will drink well sooner. Once again, I found myself reflecting that this estate is one of the finest and most consistent addresses in the Mâconnais.
