Winemaker Notes
The nose shows some blackcurrant, vanilla and hint of wood. On the palate, the typical nice freshness of Château Ferrière and some power. The wine has great potential and will need time to reveal itself.
About Winery
Gabriel Ferriere, a well-known broker in Bordeaux in the 18th century was the founder of this estate. Chateau Ferriere was classified a third growth in 1855. The Villars family bought the vineyards and the chateau in 1988 and took over the viticulture and winemaking.
With its 10 hectares, Chateau Ferriere is one of the smallest classified growths. The vineyard is maily located in Margaux, and the soil consists of very deep gravel on limestone marl. The size of the vineyard, combined with its beautiful terroir, make Chateau Ferriere a rare and highly-valued wine.
Claire Villars Luton is responsible for the revival of this estate. Year after year, she has done her best to bring out the unique terror of Chateau Ferriere in the wine, to restore the vineyard to its original splendor, and to make it fully worth of its prestigious classification.

Barrel sample. This wine has very dark, extracted tannins. It is densely structured, and at present tasting tough, although with plenty of wonderful ripe fruit, there’s a refreshing acidity on the finish.”
