Ferraton Père et Fils - Saint-Joseph - La Source - Rouge - 2022

Wine:

The 2022 Red Saint-Joseph La Source doesn't aim for power but rather smoothness and balance. This is ideal, as it already presents itself wonderfully with its violet and Burlat cherry aromas, and a luscious, delicate palate. The granite terroir is perfectly expressed, with beautiful minerality on the finish and a delightful fruitiness throughout.

Vinification:

Hand-harvested, 100% destemmed, extracted by punching down and pumping over, vatted for around 20 days, partially aged in oak barrels for around 12 months.

Color:

Ruby red with violet highlights.

Nose:

Bouquet of violets punctuated by aromas of burlat cherry.

Palate:

Delicate yet full-bodied, let yourself be seduced by this juice with its gentle minerality and persistent fruitiness.

Temperature:

Serve between 16 and 18°C.

Food and wine pairing:

Simmered meats, Provençal lamb, sautéed veal chop.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2030.
