Gigondas Les Murailles 2021. Nestled along the banks of the picturesque Rhône River, Domaine Ferraton is more than a vineyard – it's a testament to the artistry of winemaking since its establishment in 1946. The estate's wines are a captivating blend of impeccable structure, elegant fruit flavours, and a touch of new oak, showcasing the essence of Rhône Valley viticulture.
In a serendipitous turn in 1998, the Ferraton family joined forces with Rhône legend Michel Chapoutier, setting the stage for a remarkable collaboration. Fast forward to 2004, Chapoutier's acquisition of the estate ensured its independence, yet the Ferraton family retained its pivotal role in the day-to-day operations. This dynamic partnership has sculpted a wine legacy that continues to evolve along the gentle curves of the Rhône, a harmonious marriage of tradition and innovation.
A full-bodied experience with lush, velvety tannins. The palate unfolds a sophisticated interplay of dense black fruit, enticing notes of liquorice, vibrant spices, and herbal undertones. The finish is both long and refreshingly lively, defying expectations for this appellation.
