Maison Ferraton was founded in 1946 by Jean-Orëns Ferraton, the scion of family of vignerons with a small holding in Hermitage.

Expansion of the family business continued apace under his son Michel, who bought vineyards in Saint-Joseph and Crozes-Hermitage which produce a number of critically acclaimed, site-specific wines.

In addition to this he established a high-quality negociant arm, producing superior wines from the length of the Rhône Valley.
Since 1998, this Maison Ferraton has been a firm proponent of organic and biodynamic farming, with an increasing number of wines produced according to these principles.
