Ferrand is an estate dating from 1702 in Saint-Hippolyte, a grand cru classé since 2012. The simplest visit tours the cellar and ends with two vintages discussed by the sommelier. If you want more, there is a blind tasting, a food pairing or a workshop to make your own blend. If you are going to taste, don't drive.
