Domaine Jean Féry
Since our visit to Burgundy in the Autumn 2023, we are now pleased to be working with this fantastic family-run domaine founded in 1922 in the beautiful village of Échevronne between Beaune and Nuits-Saint- Georges where it is still based. The vineyards span over 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 through investment in infrastructure and the purchase of new vineyards. Since 2011, all the domaine is fully certified ORGANIC and the family is in full control through the entire process from the vineyard to the bottling.
The Domaine has a true mosaic of top appellations with different terroirs of a complex mixture of lime, weathered volcanic soil and high iron contents. Especially in the past 15 years, since the domain switched to an organic approach and minimal intervention in the wine cellar, the quality of the wines has increased enormously producing high-quality Burgundies, for an affordable price, with attention to the family history and future.
In 2020 Laurent Fery (4th generation) bought the domaine « Fery » of his cousin. That is why they now own and grow 33 hectares spread over 36 excellent ‘lieu dit’ in Côte de Nuits, Côtes de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise including some single vineyard bottlings from Gevrey, Vosne-Romanée, Meursault and Puligny.
The quality of the domaine has been massively rising since 2000s thanks to the winemaker Pascal Marchant, famous for working in top domains like Comte Armand, Bruno Clair or Domaine de la Vougeraie.
The current winemaker François Lecaillon who has joined Jean Féry a year ago previously worked for Domaine De La Vougeraie as head winemaker for 4 years. His recent vintage is looking very exciting. On average there is 25% new oak used and all the bottles are sealed with that really good wax that is easy to cut off.
For the pre-release offer we have selected a range of some of our favourite wines from their portfolio.

Domaine Jean Fery & Fils is a family-run winery located in the beautiful village of Échevronne between Beaune and Nuits-Saint- Georges. The vineyards are farmed organically and span over 34 acres from the north to the south of Burgundy in famous appellations.
The Chambolle-Musigny is graceful and charming, nor the most structured, but it delivers a sensuous fruit and a laciness of texture which is entirely satisfying.
