Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Ferraton’s 2015 Côtes du Rhône Samorens Blanc is a smoking deal that readers should snatch up. Made from Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Viognier that was brought up all in stainless steel, it gives up lots of tropical fruits, pear and tangerine in a rich, medium-bodied, classy style that just begs to be drunk. At 15 bucks, it’s underpriced.

Maison Ferraton Pere & Fils brings together a fraternity of winemakers in a quest for excellence of precious and generous wines. The resulting wines are considered as being unique witnesses to the land and climate from which they originate.
There are hundreds of white grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles.
Typically thought of as a baby Chateâuneuf-du-Pape, the term Côtes du Rhône actually doesn’t merely apply to the flatter outskirts of the major southern Rhône appellations, it also includes the fringes of well-respected northern Rhône appellations. White wines can be produced under the appellation name, but very little is actually made.
The region offers some of the best values in France and even some first-rate and age-worthy reds. Red wine varieties include most of the Chateâuneuf-du-Pape varieties like Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault, and Counoise, as well as Carignan. White grapes grown include Grenache blanc, Roussanne and Viognier, among others.
