“Absolutely Delicious 100% Marsanne.”

Few white wines can compete with the grandeur of the Rhône’s best bottles. Powerfully lush, with rich texture and stony minerality, they command attention at the table and inspire rapturous obsession among collectors.

But here’s the thing: Just 5% of the Northern Rhône is planted to white grapes, which means Rhône whites are as uncommon as they are fantastic. Ferraton has “access to some of the best vineyards in the region,” according to Vinous, “and certainly get the most of them.” They do that through the winemaking of Michel Chapoutier, who, with 40x 100-point scores to his name, is no less than a deity of Rhône winemaking.

However, despite Ferraton’s fantastic terroir, and despite the famous winemaker at the helm, they remain an insider secret. Vinous commented that the estate “produces outstanding white wines, but they're still an under-the-radar winery." That translates into prices that are a far cry from Chapoutier’s $400 Hermitage Blanc. 

St.-Joseph offers some of the top values in the Northern Rhône Its best terroirs are hills that remind us of Hermitage on a smaller scale, and they’re often tantalizingly close to the town of Tain L’Hermitage itself. La Source is 100% Marsanne—the dominant white grape of the Hermitage Hill—and is grown on the same kind of decomposed granite soils that are famous for producing Michel Chapoutier’s baller Hermitage bottlings.

That translates into a classic Northern Rhône.wine that presents the power and personality of these granite hills with little adornment—perfect for drinking now or over the next half decade.
