Ferraton Père & Fils is a prestigious family-owned estate in the northern Rhône, renowned for crafting elegant wines that express the distinctive character of their terroir. La Matinière, their Crozes-Hermitage red, is a compelling expression of Syrah from this acclaimed appellation, situated just north of Hermitage itself. The vineyard's unique position and soil composition impart mineral complexity and refined structure to the wine.

This Syrah-based red showcases the region's signature peppery and spicy characteristics, balanced with ripe black fruit and subtle minerality. The wine displays a light to medium intensity, making it versatile across the table. Its balanced profile and moderate 12.5% ABV make it approachable yet sophisticated, ideal for discerning palates seeking authenticity over extraction.

La Matinière pairs beautifully with beef, lamb, and game birds, as well as duck and rich charcuterie selections. It also complements grain-based dishes and legumes, making it a natural choice for fine dining settings and private entertaining across yachts, country estates, and mountain chalets.
