“Beautiful maturity with balanced, fresh fruit. The vintage’s profile is perfectly defined. Lush and full-bodied, the wine is robust with a medium-bodied texture. The oak is well integrated.” (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2017 - RVF)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2021 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
Ferraton is owned by Michel Chapoutier, but he wanted to keep an independent team at the helm, led by Damien Brisset. The old premises in Tain have been renovated and modernized, and a new, welcoming reception and dining area has just opened along the Rhône; everything is in place for this venture to take off. The range showcases expertise in Rhône Valley wines, with—as with Chapoutier—a plot-by-plot approach that expands the number of cuvées each year. Today, the estate remains a benchmark more for its reds than its whites. The 2017 reds are well-crafted, balancing freshness and depth.

Wine rated (2016 guide) 92/100 (Excellent wine)
Rated estate (2021 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
The 2014 L'Ermitage Les Dionnières offers impeccable purity and beautiful elegance, with classic notes of sparkling minerals, black raspberries, gunpowder, and a hint of violet. A well-balanced red wine that is already a delight to drink, ready to enjoy now or to be cellared for ten years or more.

About the wine:
A beautiful maturity with balanced, fresh fruit. The vintage’s profile is perfectly defined. Lush and full-bodied, the wine is robust with a medium-bodied texture. The oak is well integrated.
About the estate:
Renovated "from floor to ceiling": the expression is perfectly apt for introducing the rebirth of Ferraton and its new winery, located at the historic address of the wine merchant—acquired by Maison M. Chapoutier in 2004—on a small street in the center of Tain-l’Hermitage. In Hermitage, the estate owns vineyards in the lower part of Les Dionnières, just below Les Murets. Some of the old vines are reserved for the Les Dionnières cuvée, while the rest go into the Les Miaux cuvée, blended with Les Méal. The estate owns two plots in Les Méal, whose wines are also either bottled separately or blended. For white Hermitage, we head east toward Les Beaumes, with whites made from Marsanne and Roussanne—often planted in dense clusters—which go into the Le Reverdy cuvée. Always harvested at full ripeness, the Syrah grapes are destemmed and aged in barrels and demi-muids: Les Dionnières with 20% new oak, and 40% for Le Méal. Aging lasts 16 to 18 months. The style of the wines, full-bodied and expressive, has so far favored the reds.
