The 2011 St.-Joseph La Source Blanc tastes like pure Marsanne. Excellent citrus, tangerine, honeysuckle and wet stone/pebble notes emerge from this lovely, medium-bodied, well-made white.
The quality of Ferraton’s wines has been increasing with nearly every new vintage thanks to the efforts of Michel Chapoutier and his number one assistant, P.H. Morel, who has the responsibilities for these wines. I have included a few Southern Rhones that were not reviewed in Issue #203. Some of the 2011 white wines are in bottle, but the more serious cuvees are still in barrel. Ferraton produced four lieu-dit offerings in 2011, which I tasted with Michel Chapoutier and Pierre-Henri Morel.
