Ferraton Pere & Fils Cotes du Rhone Samorens White 2021

Established in 1946 in Tain-l'Hermitage, Ferraton Pere & Fils focuses on clear, fruit led Rhone expressions shaped by careful temperature control and clean elevage. Samorens Blanc Cotes du Rhone 2021 follows that brief with gently pressed fruit from regional white varieties, fermented cool in stainless steel to preserve aroma and line. A short period on fine lees adds a touch of body while keeping the profile unoaked and precise, allowing vineyard character to sit at the centre. In the glass the wine is bright and aromatic, opening with citrus and white peach lifted by a faint herbal accent. The palate is clean and dry with moderate weight, acidity fresh and neatly integrated, and the texture supple rather than creamy. A light saline note carries the finish, which is refreshing and tidy. Built for versatility at the table, it serves well as an aperitif and pairs cleanly with simple seafood or salads, reflecting Ferraton's preference for purity, definition and a food friendly line in a classic southern Rhone white.
