THE COMPANY

6 hectares in red and 1 in white, among the 15 that make up the property, are the heart of the production of the Domaine Ferraton in the Hermitage hill and are mostly located in the lower and central parts of the hill, as well as in the Crozes-Hermitage. The company was founded in 1946 by Jean Orëns Ferraton with his father-in-law Jean Reverdy: he passed on his passion for wine to his son Michel who developed both the vineyard and the cellar. Owned by the Chapoutier family, Ferraton traditionally vinifies both whites and reds to which are added the “Sélections Parcellaires”, the highest expression of the terroirs of Vallée du Rhone. Reasoned and respectful viticulture of the territory and man is carried out, with the conversion into organic from 2012 of almost all the parcels of the company, which began in 1998. With its fine and elegant wines, perfectly linked to its terroir, Ferraton is today one of the flagships of the appellation and of the entire Rhone Valley.

France - 

Vallée du Rhône

North

In the northern Rhône, vines climb steep terraced slopes where the soil is composed of granitic debris and sun exposure is better. The queen grape is syrah, but the area also boasts three very distinctive and increasingly fashionable white grape varieties-marsanne, roussanne and viognier-whose total production, however, is rather small. Cote Rotie, Condrieu and Hermitage, the most important wines of the Rhone, under all produced in the northern part.
