Tasting Notes
« Gore »: decomposed granite. Full south exposure on the hillsides situated in the town of Tournon-sur-Rhône. After pressing, the must is cold settled then put into 600 liters aok barrels, for the alcoholic fermentation. The malolactic fermentation and the ageing are made in barrels (75%) and stainless steel (25%). The wine is aged on fine lies in barrels for about 10 to 12 months depending on the vintage.
Bright color, pale golden core. Aromas of ripe white fruits (white peaches) with grilled notes. Complex wine with a good acidity. Very fat, and very mineral and straightforward.

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.
