Sort By:

Ferraud et Fils 2009 Le Reposoir Gamay (Fleurie)

Cellar Selection

Price $21

A powerful style, very much OF the year. There are initial austere tannins as well as acidity. The juiciness of the wine takes a while to come through, the jammy character in the background of what is still a structured wine. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

points

Ferraud et Fils 2010 Les Charmes Gamay (Morgon)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Like many Beaujolais in 2010, this wine has a firm and tannic structure. Being Morgon, though, it also has power and richness, the black fruits intense, with acidity to balance. This could well age for 2–3 years and more. — R.V. (12/15/2011)

points

Ferraud et Fils 2009 Les Ravinets Gamay (Juliénas)

Price $19

Firm wine that is packed with tannins as well as solid fruit. The wine is concentrated with a dense plum skin texture. Chunky, perfumed and solid. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

points

Ferraud et Fils 2009 Cuvée Ensorceleuse Gamay (Saint-Amour)

Price $21

Producers love to play on Saint-Amour (in fact a Roman legionary), and this Sorcerer Cuvée is in a good tradition. The wine is soft, ripe, open and generous, with spice and juicy cherry and raspberry flavors. The tannins are in the background. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

points

Ferraud et Fils 2010 Les Ravinets Gamay (Juliénas)

Online Exclusive

Tight, structured wine, with intense acidity as well as red berry fruits. It feels lean and sinewy, needing a few more months to settle and round out. Keep a year. — R.V. (12/15/2011)

points

Ferraud et Fils 2008 Chardonnay (Saint-Véran)

Online Exclusive

A soft, fruity wine, touched with vanilla and citrus. It is full, ripe, some tropical fruits and showing a final fresh acidity. — R.V. (11/1/2010)

points

Ferraud et Fils 2010 Domaine Rolland Gamay (Côte de Brouilly)

Price $20

There are certainly plenty of tannins here, but they are balanced by rich fruit, strawberry juice flavors and freshness. Structured ripeness is the hallmark here. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

points

Ferraud et Fils 2008 L’Entre Roche Chardonnay (Pouilly-Fuissé)

Online Exclusive

Metallic in character, tight, the fruit flattened and hard. The texture dominates, the fruit is missing. — R.V. (11/1/2010)
