2008 Hermitage Rouge, Les Miaux, Domaine Ferraton

Hermitage Rouge, Les Miaux, Domaine Ferraton
Hermitage is one of the most famous of all French wines, its name associated down the centuries with a beguiling combination of power and finesse, admirably displayed in this example from Ferraton.

Les Méaux is a brand name rather than a specific vineyard, the nomenclature a not entirely successful amalgam of the communes of Le Méal and Les Dionnières. The Syrah grapes were hand-picked from old vines on steep alluvial terraces and then aged for 14 months in barriques, some of which were new. The result is classic Hermitage from a forward and very approachable vintage; elegance and power entwined, with great persistence on the finish. The age of the vines has ensured an impressive concentration in what was, for some, a tricky vintage. Not, it seems, for our friends at Ferraton.
