Ferraton Côtes Du Rhône Samorens Rouge 2021
93 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team
"A classic Rhone blend of 85% Grenache, 10% Syrah & 5% Cinsault combine beautifully to give herb-scented, velvety black fruit, liquorice and spice. The 2021 wines show a lovely balance of rich fruit and fresh acidity, super drinkable."

The Ferraton Cotes du Rhone shares the same rock-strewn soil that promotes superb richness and ripeness to the mighty wines of Chateauneuf du Pape – and vines that are similarly aged and gnarled, which results in tiny quantities of concentrated fruit. Created by the gifted winemaking team at Chapoutier, it’s brimming with juicy red berries, black pepper spice, and rounded tannins. A real gem on its own, or spot-on with rack of lamb, a robust cassoulet or grilled stuffed peppers.
Ferraton Père & Fils have been producing wines in the world famous Rhone Valley for over 70 years. But it’s in the past 15 years or so that their quality has gone to the next level since being bought out by legendary producer M.Chapoutier.
