Ferraton Pere et Fils - Rhone

Ref: ferraton

The expansive vineyards of Ferraton Pere et Fils are located along the famous terraced slopes Rhone Valley or the Rhone plains.

The son of a wine producer and a wine producer himself, Jean Ferraton founded his own vineyard in 1946 in the Hermitage and Crozes-Hermitage appellations together with his father-in-law, Jean Reverdy.

He passed on his passion to his son, Michel who developed the estate by extending the vineyards and adding the current premises in Tain L'Hermitage. In 1994 his son, Samuel Ferraton took over and has continued the family's art of wine-making, preserving the knowledge and learning that have been handed down to him.

Samuel Ferraton worked previously on the Chapoutier estate gaining world-class knowledge on modern wine-producing techniques. Combined with the traditional family knowledge handed down through the generations the wines of Ferraton Pere et Fils show great depth, structure and superb fruit characteristics.
