Discover the elegance of the Ferraton Père et Fils Saint-Joseph "Lieu-dit Paradis" Rouge 2021, a premium French red wine from the Rhône Valley. Sourced from steep vineyards in Mauves, the heart of the Saint-Joseph AOC, this Syrah-based wine is a true expression of its terroir, featuring a unique blend of alluvial, granite, and loess soils.
Vineyard & Vinification
The grapes are hand-harvested from hillside plots, carefully destemmed, and vinified in concrete vats to preserve freshness and structure. The wine undergoes a long maceration of approximately four weeks, with gentle extraction methods including pumping over and punching down.
Ageing Process
This vintage is matured for 12 to 14 months in French oak barrels, with 10% new oak, giving the wine added depth without overpowering the fruit.

Perfect for collectors or lovers of fine Rhône Valley wines, this bottle pairs beautifully with grilled meats, aged cheeses, and hearty vegetable dishes.
Ferraton Père et Fils is a small family-owned organic vineyard in the Northern Rhône Valley, with roots in a historic vineyard plot on the prestigious Hermitage appellation. The winery’s journey began humbly and grew under the vision of Michel Ferraton, whose leadership was pivotal in shaping the legacy of this boutique wine estate.
Two key events transformed Ferraton Père et Fils into the acclaimed, artisanal wine brand it is today. First, a life-changing accident that left Michel’s son, Samuel, wheelchair-bound, coincided with Michel’s declining health. Second, a powerful partnership formed between Michel Ferraton and long-time friend and renowned Rhône winemaker Michel Chapoutier.
In 1998, the two Michels entered a strategic joint venture, laying the foundation for what is now a modern, biodynamic winery in Tain-l’Hermitage. While Ferraton remains fully independent, it benefits from Chapoutier’s financial backing and viticultural expertise. Since 2000, Ferraton Père et Fils has fully embraced biodynamic winemaking, ensuring sustainable, terroir-driven wines crafted with integrity and care.
Their vineyards are cultivated using the same strict biodynamic methods as Chapoutier, with top vineyard plots released as exclusive single-vineyard Rhône Valley wines. Alongside its estate wines, Ferraton operates a small, high-quality Rhône Valley wine négociant business, offering selected wines from across the Northern and Southern Rhône appellations.
Winemaking remains autonomous and deeply personal. Housed in a 100-year-old wine cellar and using a traditional wine press, Ferraton’s winery sits in the heart of Tain-l’Hermitage, right on the Rhône River, making it a popular stop for wine lovers and river cruise travellers alike.
