Clairettes 2024 Domaine Ferrando

In 2024, Domaine Ferrando bottled its Clairettes, a vintage characterized by uneven vine growth that proved to be a real challenge for winemakers throughout the southern Rhône. Isabelle Ferrando uses a winemaking method that maximizes the benefits of the sandy-clay soils, which give this wine its characteristic richness. In addition, yields are kept low, around 20 hl/ha, which enhances the wine’s concentration in the glass. Best enjoyed between 2025 and 2035. This wine is likely to be distinguished not so much by the powerful style typical of hot vintages as by pronounced notes of ripe fruit, which are a hallmark of the Ferrando style.
