Ferraton Père & Fils Samorëns 2021
Côtes du Rhône, Rhone Valley, FranceThe Ferraton family have been winemakers for generations, and the estate was converted to biodynamic practices by Michel Chapoutier. This CdR Blanc blends Grenache blanc 30%, Roussanne 30%, Viognier 30%, Clairette 10%, from clay-limestone soils. It was fermented in stainless (no MLF) where it remained for a few months prior to bottling. Tight white blossoms, ripe pear, white peach, and kisses of honeysuckle glide along a glycerin palate, with light stony spices on the snappy finish. A fresh, medium bodied white for drinking now with salads or lighter vegetarian dishes.Tasted: 09 December 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:QC | $17.45 | 750ml | SAQ |
