Ferraton Les Miaux Hermitage AOC 1.5L

“The entry-level Hermitage is the 2015 Hermitage Les Miaux, which comes from multiple terroirs. Revealing a deep, inky color as well as a stunning nose of blackcurrants, crushed rocks, graphite and violets, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, impeccable balance and sweet tannin. The only downside to these latest releases from Ferraton? They’re made in tiny quantities and there’s just not enough to go around. For readers who don’t know, this estate is managed by Michel Chapoutier, yet they have their own vineyard sources and winemaking team. ” – Jeb Dunnuck

“Crisp black-cherry and currant notes in this wine are subtle initially but gain ripeness with time and aeration. It’s lusciously fruity yet balanced by acidity and intensely granitic mineral tones. The finish is long and penetrating, edged by fine, gripping tannins and lingering notes of dried garrigue and bramble. (ALI)” – Wine Enthusiast
