Ferraton Père & Fils

Northern Rhône Syrah from granite and schist, vineyard by vineyard.

Ferraton Père & Fils produces Syrah-based wines from the northern Rhône Valley, where granite slopes and continental climate shape the character of this demanding region. The winery's portfolio centers on two appellations defined by their Syrah expressions: Ermitage and Cornas. Ermitage Le Méal, sourced from the steep terraced vineyard of the same name, captures the richness and structure the appellation is known for. Cornas Lieu-Dit Patou and Cornas Lieu-Dit Les Eygats, both single-vineyard selections, reflect the darker, more mineral-driven profile typical of Cornas's schist-based soils. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Decanter, and Falstaff. The northern Rhône demands precision in viticulture and winemaking; Ferraton's focus on single-vineyard bottlings suggests a commitment to expressing terroir specificity rather than blended consistency.
