RATINGS

96James Suckling

Blackberries, blackcurrants, violets, bitter chocolate, clay and gravel on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with firm, very fine and integrated tannins. Beautiful texture. Structured, yet with a soft, supple feel. Subtle.

94+ The Wine Advocate

Striking aromas of sweet wild berries, violets, dark chocolate and loamy soil...full-bodied, velvety and concentrated wine that’s seamless and complete, with a rich, dramatic core of fruit, lively acids and a long, resonant finish.

94Wine Enthusiast

The wine is dense and concentrated. Its deep black plum fruits and solid tannins have weight and density. The wine does keep a sense of proportion in its balance and juicy aftertaste.

93Vinous / IWC

...really lovely bouquet of black plum and hints of blue fruit and crushed violet, then later orange zest...palate is rounded and smooth. While not as deep or as grippy as others, this is endearingly harmonious and sensual, with a pure, caressing finish.

PRODUCER

Château Ferriere

Château Ferrière dates to the 18th century, when an aristocrat named Gabriel Ferrière acquired the property. The estate stayed in the family through the generations, sometimes passed off to cousins. Then starting in the 1950s the vineyards were leased to Alexis Lichine, then owners of Château Lascombes. In 1988 the estate was bought by Jacques Merlaut. Today his granddaughter Clair Villars Lurton owns and runs the estate. Besides the flagship wine, the estate produces a second wine, Les Remparts, and a third wine, La Dame de Ferrière.

REGION

France, Bordeaux, Margaux

Margaux is one of Bordeaux’s most famous appellations and also one of its largest, with about 3,400 acres of vineyards. Located on the Left Bank of the Gironde River, Margaux has the greatest number of classified-growth châteaux (or crus classé) according to the 1855 classification. There are twenty-one crus classé, including the most famous estate, the first growth Château Margaux. The Margaux appellation includes vineyards around the village of Margaux and the villages of Arsac, Cantenac, d’Issan, Labarde and Soussans. Wines from the best Margaux châteaux and vintages are prized for their perfumey fragrance and elegant, silky mouthfeel. Margaux wines are predominately Cabernet Sauvignon blended with Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
