Note di degustazione
Bright ruby. Exotically perfumed aromas of ripe red fruits, coconut, cola and licorice, with a spicy overlay. Oak-spiced raspberry and cherry flavors show impressive depth and energy, and a seamless texture. Very fruity Cote-Rotie with strong finishing punch and persistent spice and floral character.

Once again, the lesser of the lieu-dit cuvees is the 2010 Cote Rotie Lieu-Dit Montmain. This light to medium-bodied 2010 exhibits fresh raspberry and herbal notes and good concentration, but is overall a straightforward, unexciting effort. (Not yet released) If the turn around in quality of the Paul Jaboulet-Aine wines is the biggest good news story of qualitative improvement in the northern Rhone, what Michel Chapoutier has accomplished with Ferraton is a close second. This is definitely a name to be taken seriously, as Chapoutier has expanded the portfolio and continues to upgrade the quality across the board. Ferraton’s 2009s and 2010s are the finest wines made to date. There appears to be three levels of quality now being produced, beginning with the generic bottlings, to the single vineyard (or lieu-dit) offerings, followed by the top of the line, more expensive, limited production efforts called selections parcellaires.
