Product description

Tasting Notes
Parcel located in the North of the appellation on a beautifully South/South West facing slope. Soils of micaschistes and granite. Grapes are destemmed. Maceration in concrete vats (for a better thermic inertia) for about 3-4 weeks (depending on the vintage). Extraction made by pumping over and punching down. The barrel ageing lasts for 12 to 16 months in French oak.
Bright, deep ruby colour with violet tints. Very pure nose with aromas of ripe red fruits (cherry, berry), black fruits with nice floral notes. Deep, round and elegant wine, with red fruit aromas. Nice minerality. Very long lasting wine.

About the Wine Maker
The land and the people who tend it share the same history. A history which grows from generation to generation. At the origin, one man, Jean Orëns Ferraton. Vigneron, and son of a vigneron. A region basked in sun, the Rhône Valley. It was 1946. Michel, his son, inherited the same passion. He decided to give a new dimension to his father’s vineyards. The first Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage and Saint-Joseph Ferraton were brought into the world. A close friend of the Ferratons’, Michel Chapoutier brought his know-how. In 1998, the vineyards were converted to organic viticulture, then certified, before embracing the culture of bio-dynamics.
