More on the La Tournée Magic

Ferraton Père & Fils La Tournée Rouge 2021 is a tribute to the venerable Rhône Valley’s character and charm. This wine, birthed from purest practices, resonates deeply with the spirit of biodynamics — where the vine’s relationship to the cosmos is as important as the land itself.

With the northern Rhône’s signature elements — granite slopes, a mix of continental and Mediterranean climates, and that teasing breeze known as the Mistral — the La Tournée Rouge speaks directly from its spiritual terroir. Expect a full-bodied wine with robust tannins, crafted largely from Syrah and a whisper of Grenache, ensuring even the finest details pay homage to Rhône traditions.

Intriguing depths of flavor align with graceful spice; the ideal companion to any spirited evening nourished by hearty meals or quiet contemplations. Whether relishing now or laying down for future revelation, this bottle promises the harmonious narrative of Ferraton’s esteemed journey.

Transition to such pioneering organic and biodynamic viticultural methods began under Michel Chapoutier’s herbal whisperings, establishing a new paradigm within Rhône winemaking. It’s an homage to sustainability, utilizing ancient lunar calendars and holistic farming, marrying old with trusted new.

Ferraton’s domaine — touched by Chapoutier yet independent — speaks a consistent language of excellence, as demonstrated with the La Tournée Rouge 2021. The power of heritage is evident, tightly bonded with innovation as a guide through ever-evolving wine landscapes.
