Introducing Domaine Ferraton<\/h1>\n

This area of Rh\u00f4ne<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0began in 1946 under the direction of Mr Jean-Or\u00ebns Ferraton<\/em> who was at the time the son of a winegrower. His son, Michel Ferraton<\/em>who succeeded him with passion and dedication.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The vineyard is then managed by Samuel Ferraton<\/em>the fourth generation of the family, and the estate is now close to Michel Chapoutier<\/em> in 1998. With his expert help and advice, the Ferraton estate<\/strong> will focus on biodynamics<\/strong> Respect for the vine, for living things in all their forms. This means an end to the use of harmful chemical products, fertilizers and pesticides. The result? A respected grape, free of exogenous molecules, natural and qualitative. It's the gift of a soil respected by its owner. It's today Monsieur Chapoutier <\/em>who took over the estate in 2004.<\/p>\n

\n

Robert Parker's opinion<\/strong><\/u> : The quality and number of vintages from this estate continue to soar. These are currently the best wines I've tasted from this estate. (2016)<\/em><\/p>\n

Ferraton's Grandes Cuv\u00e9es<\/h2>\n

It buys grapes from a wide range of appellations: Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape, Condrieu, C\u00f4te-R\u00f4tie, Cornas and more. Today, we present some of our finest cuv\u00e9es;<\/p>\n

Croze-Hermitage \"Calendes<\/h3>\n

\"crozes<\/p>\n
