The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Impressive in the price-pleasure ratio of its wines, the Maison Ferraton is one of the most sought-after names in the Northern Rhône Valley. With wines of admirable amplitude, particularly expressive in their youth and capable of ageing wonderfully, it has established itself as an essential benchmark. 

On the magical terroir of Hermitage, Ferraton cultivates its role as a major player, imposing its wines with a powerful, unifying style. A straightforward interpretation of this terroir, perfectly illustrated today by this plot-based wine, as subtle as it is impressive.
Wine Produced from the appellation's finest plots, notably Méal and Dionnières, the 2021 red Hermitage Les Miaux express all the nuances of these great terroirs. The nose opens with beautiful aromas of ripe fruit, abundant black fruits, with hints of soot. The palate is already tender and juicy, sustained by tannins rounded by ageing. A voluptuous ensemble that can be enjoyed now or over five to eight years for connoisseurs. Rated 93/100 by the Committee.
Vinification Hand-harvested, totally destemmed, vinified in concrete vats for approximately 4 weeks. Extraction by pumping over and punching down.
Aged in oak barrels for 12 to 14 months, depending on the vintage (10% in new barrels).

Certified organic wine.
