Producer
Maison Ferraton was founded in 1946 by Jean-Orëns Ferraton, the scion of family of vignerons with a small holding in Hermitage. Expansion of the family business continued apace under his son Michel, who bought vineyards in St-Joseph and Crozes-Hermitage. In addition to this he established a high-quality negociant arm, producing superior wines from the length of the Rhône Valley. This bijou producer has long been a firm proponent of organic and biodynamic farming, with an increasing number of wines produced according to these principles.
Vineyard
The grapes come from vineyards on the the left bank of the River Rhône, planted on alluvial and gravelly soils.
Winery
After pressing, the must was cold-settled for forty-eight hours. Following temperature controlled fermentation the wine was matured in vats, before early bottling at the end of the winter. The wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation.
