2020 | Maison Pere et Fils | Cheverny Blanc

Bright, straw-yellow robe. The nose is fresh and aromatic, with notes of dried mango, melon and a touch of basil flower. The palate is fresh and balanced, bursting with intriguing flavors of lemon, bitter orange marmalade and hints of jasmine on the round, succulent finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: To the east of the Touraine region, this small appellation has produced a wine that is currently crisp and tangy. As it matures, the Chardonnay in the blend will smooth the wine, giving a rounder character.

Producer Information

Maison Ferraton Pere et Fils was founded in 1946 by Jean Orens Ferraton, which as you can see, is where the company takes its name from. The initial purchase that launched their business began with a tiny parcel of only .3 hectares in Hermitage. The next generation, led by the dynamic Michel Ferraton really helped expand the business and their vineyard holding with additional purchases. In 1998, Ferraton Pere et Fils embraced biodynamic farming techniques for all their vineyards. They also really wanted their business to grow. To help with the transition, Michel Chapoutier, who was already enjoying great success with biodynamic farming and marketing the wines of Chapoutier was brought in. From that point forward, they formed a join venture partnership with Michel Chapoutier. By 2000, all their vineyards were farmed using biodynamic techniques. Today, due to a motorcycle accident that severely injured Samuel Ferraton, Michel Chapoutier started taking a more active roll in the management of the entire estate. It took a few years, but starting with the 2009 vintage, all their wines showed a marked increase in quality. Michel Chapoutier is in charge of the wine making, but the wines are uniquely Ferraton, and do not resemble those of Chapoutier. Ferraton Pere et Fils is a massive company in the Rhone. They are a top level winery, producing some of the best wines in the Northern Rhone, especially in the appellations of Hermitage and Crozes Hermitage. They own vines in several different appellations and terroirs.
