The land and the people who tend it share the same history. A history which grows from generation to generation. At the origin, one man, Jean Orens Ferraton. Vigneron, and son of a vigneron. A region basked in sun, the Rhone Valley. It was 1946. The story begins. Michel, his son, inherited the same passion. He decided to give a new dimension to his father’s vineyards. The first Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage and Saint-Joseph Ferraton were brought into the world. A close friend of the Ferratons’, Michel Chapoutier brought his know-how. In 1998, the vineyards were converted to organic viticulture, then certified. Before embracing the culture of bio-dynamics. An audacious step. For innovative and strong perspectives. A domaine attached to its roots, to its origins. Of men who are passionate, loyal to their heritage with which they have forged the identity Ferraton Pere & Fils. A team who observe, experiment. Always with the greatest respect. Of those who work the land, the vines, the wine. A fraternity bringing together the vignerons of Maison Ferraton Pere & Fils, in a quest for affirmed excellence. For precious and generous wines. Unique witnesses to their land and climate. Born of a commitment, a promise. |
