The vineyards of the Domain Ferraton Père et Fils are situated along the
Rhône Valley, either on it's sun-drenched terraced slopes or on the plain
following the sinuous path of the River Rhône.
Domaine Ferraton is a very fine Northern Rhône estate that was run for
many years by Michel Ferraton. It is now run by Samuel Ferraton, the
fourth generation of the family, who worked for a while in conjunction
with Chapoutier frères. The firm has vineyard holdings in Hermitage and
Crozes-Hermitage and its cellars are located immediately behind those of
Marc Sorrel in the heart of Tain l`Hermitage.
Samuel Ferraton is very much an artisan winemaker- yet he employs many
modern techniques that he picked up while working with the Chapoutiers.
Consequently, the wines are a marvellous marriage of the old and the new,
displaying good structure and well-defined fruit characters, allied with
very judicious and limited use of new oak. The wines are bottled unfined
and unfiltered.
